  I was hoping one of you more experienced users might know which plugin or effect was used to get this cool sunflare / fire type effect?
  Thankyou in advance!

  High-contrast Fractal Noise and small amount of natural Vector Blur would be my take.

  Or could be Dynamic Fractal Noise, no Vector Blur.

  That reminds me of this Andrew Kramer’s tutorial:

  LOL, I think a lot of us have done that tutorial at some point or another. It’s extremely neat, and I’ve modified it for different purposes. Great introduction to how to create animated sprites for faux 3D visual effects. It’s basically the same process game designers use for explosions. Even today, many “magic” and explosion effects are compounds of 2D sprite elements. Volumetrics is very GPU intensive and for fast SFX, sprites are far easier to create, control, and often look better.
