Hi,
i have the Nexia 1.5 mpfi P reg. For the past week or so now maybe longer, my oil warning ligt has been on. I have checked oil levels on a daily basis but there has been no drop. The car has been running a bit sluggish, running on only 3 cylinders. It runs worse in the wet weather, this has made me think that there was maybe an electrical fault as the wet weather maybe dampening something. This morning i was on my way fishing, when i got in the car i noticed that the oil warning light was no longer on, which i found a bit strange as it has been on for a while. I was on the motorway and the headlights went off and came back on again, there was a blue flash undeneath the steering wheel (the location of the fuse box). The car then lost all power. I checked out the fuse box and found that the fuse labelled,
Anti-Thief
Fuel Pump
had blown. I replaced this fuse wth a new one and turned the electrics on, the car was fine, however when i started the engine the same fuse blew.
Does anybody have any ideas what the cause of the problem could be or has anybody else experienced a similar problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
