Thanks for all the replies.
I don't have an obsessive worry about this happening to my car, especially following replies here.
I believe the turbo on mine is the original as service receipts don't show a repair or replacement being fitted, and I don't have excessive smoke from the exhaust either.
I'll be sure not to overfill the engine oil too.
Just to be safe though I think I will begin to carry a small CO2 extinguisher in place of the car extinguisher I usually carry.
I think my nephews experience had played on my mind a little.
Colin
