Hi,
The worked and started well until I decided the interior lamp needed to be changed (as it didn't work), as soon as I pulled the light out there was a burning smell, pulled out the loom and there were some exposed wires (now covered), after this the car would not fire, it turns fine, I checked all the fuses and all seem fine, so don't know what's happened, I disconnected the battery left if off for some time and tried again still nothing. Any suggestions from anyone that may help will be most appericated...

After having got hold of a manual, it became clear, apart from the fuses under the bonnet there are also around a dozen more behind the glove box, after checking all these fuses F4 was found blown, replaced this, now the car is fine starts first time and all is well. Got to say though the design of the interior light has to be the worst I have ever seen.
