Starting Problem

[nickehan@xxxx]

Hi Chris,
I have fixed my starting problem. The cause was a blown fuse! I 
had checked the fuse box in my car and all the fuses were ok, however I over 
looked
that fuse 7 the engine control fuse had been transferred to a separate fuse 
holder
at some time. The fuse should be 20 amp, but in my case this was a 30 amp.
There was not much left of it. I removed the melted remains of both holder 
and fuse.
The cable that had been used was not suitable for 20 amp load so I replaced
the whole lot with a new separate blade fuse holder from Halfords.
The engine started first turn of the key. And the fuse does not get warm 
anymore.
Fuse 7 controls (among other things) the fuel pump. Hence the car would 
turnover
but no fuel was being supplied.
I also replaced the electric mirror switch. This has now got the mirrors 
working.
The passenger side was a stuck but I soaked it in WD-40 and gentle moved it 
by 
hand it soon freed and now works correctly.

Regards
Nick H
