The problem this week was to do with electrics. Although I'm OK with the whole vehicle electrics thing, I still shudder as it means gaining access to places that are now securely bolted down.

Anyway, I go to drive the car to work and the lights won't come on! Did the basic checks to see if I could fix it straight away, but initially all seemed OK. Fuse was good and had 12V available at the contacts.

Later on, I did a little more detailed investigation and it appears that the fuse is not being held securely in the fuse-holder (the fuse blades were too thin - cheap fuses!) 

So, fuse swapped out with a better quality one and we're good to go!
