A Scots mum has been left traumatised after her two Mercedes-Benz motors burst into flames in separate incidents just 10 weeks apart.
Nikki McAllen was driving her 21 plate A-Class saloon in Balloch, West Dunbartonshire, on November 7, when black smoke began pouring from the engine.
The 34-year-old and her friend were able to jump out of the motor and called the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service as they watched the flames take hold of the stricken vehicle.
