as for wipers... not sure pal, chuck a bigger fuse in and hope? check earths over and over??

front fogs? whip em off? if they arent there they cant b tested...

Stu, make sure the steering colum shaft is pulled right out. they sometimes push in & you cant get the wheel on. grab the end with mole grips or summat & pull towards you

Stu, for the fuse, check the wiring isn't shorting on the clutch cable. Long shot perhaps but had the same trouble once.

Good luck smile
