Ok, I know this one has been done to death, but.....

One day the car is fine, loads of charge in the battery, the next day not a dickie bird, the clock isn't even working, no lights, LEDs, nothing, battery is new and good and all connections are fine. Any ideas where to start?

Ok - is there really nothing? There is a big Fcuk off 80 amp fuse, just of the battery. Then there's another one near the alternator - that's where to start IIRC

The Alternator fuse (I think it’s the one on the chassis under the engine) blew on mine last week, with the aide of some corrosion, but I still had ignition lights, door locks etc.

Good luck,

Simon.
