Such bad luck Jeff, I wish your car a speedy recovery.
Watched the video, I assume in the heat of the moment you forgot to turn off the engine? That cant have helped as the oil continued leak out.

I did turn the engine off Kenton, the video 4 shows 500 rpm with the engine off.

In bits already. I can rectify the issue that caused it quite easily but there are some new parts needed. Spent most of today cleaning off the extinguisher powder, fire and smoke damage and oil (which everywhere). If the engine is OK (and it was running when I stopped it) then it is all fixable, might not look pretty covered in red duct tape but it should work.

It's such a pain you've had this problem, the car was looking good. And that's from someone, who couldn't understand why you'd start adding all those bits onto a nice looking Phoenix a few months back.....
