Deggsy - Cheers.
I really should have decided to swap the fuse box out right from the start.
But I am still happy that it was the root cause of my electrical problems.

Went out for a family "celebration" meal, as…

Late Evening:
The sun was setting in the West by the time we got home.
But I was given permission to sneak outside anyway to get a little bit more done.
Yesterday, I spent far too long crawling around in the footwells when fitting the gearbox cover.
So, even if it seemed like a step backwards, I removed the centre section of the dash.
Mind you, even when I could see what I was doing, it was a fiddly job to get the two heat control panel bolts back in.
Eventually, the panel was secure.
And the centre dash section could be refitted.
Then I went around the underside of the joins around the gearbox cover to smooth out the sealing compound.
Now this was a messy job when I could see what I was doing, let alone crawling under the car in the dark.
Still, I managed to smooth out all the edges I could reach with my fingers.
I also collected any excess sealant that had been squeezed out when the cover was fitted.
I really hope that was the last job requiring me to be under the car before the MOT.
So I jacked the car up, removed the wooden blocks and the car is now back sitting on its wheels.
I've got some more real work to do tomorrow, but I hope to get the seats bolted in at some point.
Until next time, take care, Paul.
