Managed to make a complete tit of myself last week. The electric seat controls on the Aero had had stopped working and (just prior to rushing down to Devon to deal with elderly parent issues) I decided to check the fuse. Fuse was fine so I thought (it's on warranty, I'll take it in when I get back). Got it car, turned key - nothing whatsoever - no checks nowt. I thought - " I've upset some immobiliser so similar..."

Phoned dealer who put me through to the service people. They ran through various things to no avail, and then the chief guy says "Er, when you checked the fuse, did you put it back properly?". Pah! I think, I know how to put a bloody fuse in, but I checked and found - my car's a convertible and therefore had an empty slot in the fuse panel for rear wipers etc JUST UNDER the slot for the seat controls (and other stuff apparently) fuse - I had of course carefully replaced the fuse in the WRONG SLOT! I did the decent thing and told the service team who had a great laugh at my expense (the fact I'm a Prof seemed to make it even funnier to them)
