Nope, I'll be saving that for a day when I really want to *yellow human water* myself off.

Currently it has the following problems.

Front wheels bearings are on the way out.
Fuse for the indicators, brake lights and reverse lights keeps blowing.
A panels need replacing and spraying professionally.
Nearside brake caliper is still making the car pull to the left, despite pushing in the pistons at the weekend.
Front tyres are pretty low on tread.
Passenger door does not lock and the central locking sometimes locks you in the car for some reason.
Managed to sheer two of the three bolts for the front bumper so now the bumper sometimes comes off.

Wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't a daily driver, it's a bit embarassing having to push the bumper back on in traffic. It's also quite dangerous not having any brake lights and not being able to indicate.

James - Fuse box replacement time?

Definatly not, remember it's an MPi fuse box so it would include disconnecting the SRS airbag.

I'll just have to keep poking around until I find the fault.
