Just checked all the fuses and they were all Shot! (Front/rear lights 4ws abs and all others). Seems they all blew at once because the car was fine yesterday. I have changed all the fuses and they have all blown again. except for the front lights.

Typical as its now getting dark so early :x

Could this mean a major wiring fault? Any suggestions much welcome.

Thanks

Andy

replace them one at a time that way you will find the one that's causing the cascade

Turned out to be a wiring problem with the rear light fuse. Fixed it in no time and the 4ws is working again.

Thanks@mercutio Your always right!!!!

And Now the clutch has gone. Three issues in a week is a new record for the ol' gal. Think its just the fluid needs replacing so shouldn't be too bad.

All i wanted was 2 weeks of driving before it comes off the road but the car has had other ideas :lol:

If the fluid has gone, you'll need a master and/or clutch slave cylinder too I'd expect :!:
