The 21 died on the M1 . Just cut out.I thought it was the fuel pump .
AA found a blown fuse , the tech says it is window winder but it can't be .Changed fuse and it made it back home only to blow backing up the drive and now keeps blowing them ...
Suspect it is the alarm/immobiliser .When it blows the fuel pump doesn't prime and used to do so before when the fob was pressed .
Any mobile auto electricians out there in Derbyshireland .I haven't got the time to try and find it myself and I'm not that hot on that side of things anyway .Too much work to do on the GTA and I need the 21 mobile again ASAP .

You need Roger mate. he's got all the wiring diagrams in book format. He sourced my problem (similar to yours) in 30mins. i kid you not, the man is like Lt. Commander Data.

It was, a wire for electric mirrors earthing on the drivers door. he had the panels off and had wires all over the shop but to him he could see them all in the book. I was like WTF?? legend.

Not to worry ...all sorted .
Now why would you put all those wires that close to the downpipe :laugh:
Melted mess revealed short .......Lambda sensor I think ...5 wires and two melted plugs ...it's difficult to say .
