Carry spare fuses!
« on: 10 November 2008, 20:16:47 »
Got back to the car today after the chiltern slug was late, car turned over but no spark. Before you scream crank sensor, its a 4 pot remember!

Now what was odd - there was no dash lights, radio came on, but no ABS / Brake light / ECU ect ... so thought fuses!

Popped the boot, got out huge box of fuses, every time i go to the scrappy i always come out with pockets full of fuses  ::)  :-X

Sure enough fuse 15 had blown for some reason  :-/

Popped a new one in and off i went, glad i had a touch and some spares!

When I got my 1st Omega I aquired a full set of fuses and relays for the car after seeing some biggie fuses by the battery I thought it best to be prepared.

Only fuse I have had to change so far is the heated  seats/climate etc on the Elite.  Was the 1st day I had the car and was pressing all the buttons at once.   :-/ :-/

Never really been off, just loads of ongoing red tape and planning issues.  (people that cant spell or follow instructions are a particular pain in the Butt)

I endend up reworking the plans myself and in the process saved a fortune. :-/ :-/
