beyond that, i've been on a mission to try and work out why the aircon and heater blower keeps blowing (pardon the pun) its fuses. swapped out the blower itself and a relay to no avail but after tracking back all the wiring and checking and double checking, it turns out the heater controls had a bad earth. it was a little melty.

the connection was cleaned up and now makes a good earth but theres no control over the speed of the fan and still no a/c. im guessing that the over loaded circuit has damaged something else somewhere too. next is swap out the heater control panel, even though the circuit itself looks ok, failing that itll be a matter of trying to swap out the blower itself again as the resistor pack inbuilt into it might have failed.
also, picked up a new steering wheel. going to refurb it and fit once i get a wee bit of time.

the mot has also been booked but its a 4 week wait. in the mean time im going to try and get a cancellation to bring it forward. im also looking for a stainless backbox to compliment the centre section ive picked up.
