Hiya, I have a slight problem with my Mk7 Cooper.

The indicators, reversing and brake lights are no longer working. i found the fuse that has blown and replaced it, it will work for about a day before blowing again i suspect i have some dodgy wiring somewhere but i don't know where to start looking for it and i haven't got the cash to pay someone else to start looking for it

All the rest of the lights work, even the hazards (which i would have thought would have stopped working with the indicators)

Can someone point me in the right direction as i am running out of shops which stock 15 amp fuses.

you have a short circuit somewhere on the The indicators, reversing and brake lights circuit (live touching earth)

i would start by removing the lens covers and look for wet or something touching it shouldn't

if you find anything post a piccy please as twin point wiring information is a little thin on the ground!!

There's a load of wires that go through the bulkhead via a grommet right behind the air-filter, check them all because i've heard of wires chafing in this area due to the engine moving back and forth.
