Fuse Box Connector - Help

Can anyone help? After doing a headlight upgrade on the van I have found some dodgy wiring from some previously installed fog lamps. The wiring has been removed but the load had fried one of the connectors at the back of the fuse panel. Everything still working but too much melted plastic for my lik...

Re: european breakdown cover

Ok. So this sounds none too good. I have European breakdown cover with my HIC insurance policy on the van (cost £57 for 31 days I think). Anyone had any experience with this ? I am no mechanic and we have 2K to do through France this Summer - knowing my luck I'm going to need help at some point!

Both were travelling in 'vans' (one was a builders transit and the other a t5 delivery van)on the front seat. Both had fractured spines and were beyond help. The accide...
