RE: [doc] Fuse Box melting...

["Dean Mitchell" <deanscheme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had evidence of wire melting from my fuse box down inside the centre 
console.... when I bought the car my fuses were all over the place and 
nothing made sense.

You could also smell the heat back there and got the whole lot sorted 
throughout the car at an Auto Electric Specialist in Whittlesey.... although 
the re-wire did cost around £600 but better than having a fire extinguisher 
on standby!
