right, just got a lamp and had a look at the car, turns out that the oil cooler pipe was rubbing on the tie bar and put an hole in it, hence oil everywehere, hence why there was flames!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

if it was oil burning id expect it to burn for ages/fuel would flash up and going out quickly. | |

Take a look at it and check for obvious leaks. What side of the engine were the flames coming from? could you see if it was oil burning? Though if something is seroiusly wrong you can pick up a working 2.0 for about £400 ;) | |

i come up wi the conclusion, that there was still fuel in the chambers, and that must of got out through where the gasket was fried and that was what caused the flames, but i aint clued up that well | |

I'd say your engine is fucked personally. I don't think engines set fire when the head gasket goes. | |
