Looking for the plastic check strap that stops the fuse box cover under the steering wheel fully opening.  Anyone?

Find yer own mate  :) ;)

Wot no one got one??  Andy B wants one as well  :y

If memory serves, I made one years ago from either a piece of string or a tie wrap. What do you need it for? I usually remove the cover when checking fuses.  ::)

Thought that would be obvious - mines broken.  Vx put it there for a reason - safety - to stop cover falling and blocking brake pedal!!  However I would be happy to take you up on your kind offer to make me a suitable replacement from string, a tie wrap or sticky back plastic !!  No doubt you could also supply one to Andy B. :y

not true. the catch is there to stop it falling and blocking the brake pedal. even if it did fall it wouldnt block the pedals cos it would stop when it hit ya legs. ;) ;)

Hmmm, sorry to ask the silly question, yours may be a silly answer, but a piece of string would make your car "SAFE". I won't ask "How long a piece of string?"  ::)
