Well that was embarrassing!

So I blast up to a set of lights that has fpur lanes. 1 to turn right and 3 to go straight ahead and Im in the middle one, right at the front and with everyone admiring my newly polished and waxed car.
Fuel pump gives out and bam, I am stuck. Bloody thing! Fuse came loose and took seconds to fix once I had pushed her to a safe area. A big thanks to the two guys that helped!

I have got to sort this out. She already has the fuel wiring upgrade but is there anything that can be done on the fuse?

Help me obi wan, your my only hope!

Not really sure why I put in the Star wars reference but Hey Ho!

Yep replace the whole crappy fuse box with something better and water tight !

[sunoco69]

Well this wasnt a water issue. Today has been bone dry and roasting, I fact it seems to happen when it is hot? The pump just doesn't kick in and away we go, or not as it happens.

[daddysumo]

Ok no worries.....

[sunoco69]

Thanx Mr Sumo. I think you are right and a new sealed box is the answer.

Have been thinking on the same lines - the fuse box is a joke - what is better in its place?

halfords do some neat little fuseboxes - i think they are sealed

alternatively keep a can of wd40 in the car !

You say you had just polished and waxed the car, did you wash it too?

I'd suggest looking at a marine supply store, to see what sort of fuse boxes they have for boats. Maybe even change everything over to circuit breakers...

See this never happens on my 2.5 because the fuse and carrier have neatly MELTED THEMSELVES TOGETHER!
