Things go wrong in threes!

Things certainly go wrong in three's

Over the weekend all the internal lamps stopped working. A fuse I suspect!

Now the drivers side master window control has stopped working!

And to top it all my dealer informs me that my power steering is on its way out!

Sorry to hear of the car faults, but your blog was great again!! The coupling up picture brought back memories, 5 years as a second man (not steam) meant I did my fair share...

Well I decided to sort out the problems today.

The lights turned out to be a duff fuse in the passenger footwell fuse box! Must have blown when a fuse went! You certainly need to be a contortionist to get at that fuse box.

Then onto the driver door window controls. First stop was the fuse box, this time the one in the rear!, pulled the fuse out and that was ok. Time for a think over a brew! Went back out to the F2 and miraculously the drivers door panel now worked. Makes me think the fuse must have been loose.

As for the power steering box, that will be a dealers job. If it was my disco I would have a go, but not on the F2.

Many thanks for the kind comments about the blog! Very Happy

Sarcastic comments like the last post really put me off using this site! If you cannot make a constructive comment just refrain from posting anything!

Young man! Apologies totally accepted. Just come in from a difficult council meeting so probably over reacted.
Let us both carry on enjoying life!
Take care. 1998 300TDi Auto Disco, never to be forgotten.

Glad to hear you got some bits sorted, fingers crossed for the steering problem.
