Just helped out the  Mrs friend who's daughter had kindly put a 2p into the lighter socket of her brand new fiesta and blew the fuse, eventualy found the fusebox hidden behind the glovebox but not a single spare fuse in there, they must cost a penny or so to make and they won't even give you a spare like all manufacturers used to. Is this commomplace now?

Pain was they are tiny little minifuse things so had to go to the factors to get one.

but are they the (physical) size that Omegod wanted?  I have shed loads of the blade type as fitted to the Omega, but the 52 plate Astra that SWMBO used to have were half the size of them,  never needed to replace one though.

I agree.... after all they used to say that 'every' home would have a computer and that families would be able to do shopping and much of their business on them, another damn stupid Idea from the 80's...
