The G*d D*^N moth*r@#king PO of my car replaced the fuse box with something
ripped ( and I mean ripped ) out of god knows where, some modern car and
rather than tidy it up there are wires coming out all over the place. The
ends are just wrapped with MASKING TAPE!!! No wonder I have blown fuses at
the rate of about one a week ( and a different one each time ).
The best one was coming back from a party at about 1am on an unlit, winding
country road. Guess which fuse blew? The headlights! I limped back to
civilisation using my left indicator as a driving light ( lucky they are so
bright ).
After getting that off my chest I would like some advice on a good
replacement. I was looking at the 4 fuse block from Moss but now I am not
sure. Lots of things are not original and I have no interest in buying
something just cause it is original ( damn now nobody will respond :-) ).
Any thoughts on a replacement fuse box? What sort of fuses are reliable? I
have had LOTS of problems with the glass tube type ( brand new fuses and I
can pull the metal covers off!! ).
