Turned out the fuel line had popped off and pumped fuel all over the engine which ignited and burnt out all the wiring and hoses.

I had a year 2000 5dr navy blue Ford Fiesta, had it for two years and my manifold completely fell off the engine so got that welded back up, then my rearview mirror fell off when I was driving the backroads, then my glovebox fell off on same road. Still loved her. Then I was going to pick up weed and I was coming off the motorway at 80mph, so I get on to the slip road and it's time to brake and my foot goes further than it normally does and I instantly know I have no brakes so I said in a weird calmness to my mates in the car "right lads, I don't mean to alarm yous but I have no brakes" haha, got my weed and went home. Still drove her for 6 months after that and she finally got scrapped as she wasn't worth repairing.
