   Would this fix all my problems though? Rear demister, the blowers, and my power steering? They all went at the same time, just before they went my key was stuck though and i couldnt turn the engine of so had to storl it then managed to wiggle the key out, im still driving it now and starts first time fine just no power steering now and the other 2 problems, thanks

   Went to halfrauds to get a fuse thinking it might just be that, the guy in there told me I have a servere electrical fault, and also tried telling my my powersteering pump aint an electrical one when I knew it was, also said it would cost around 50 quid just to diagnose the problem so told them to stick to building pedal bikes, anyway ive follwed the guide you linked me up too and its fixed all my problems, the only thing it cost me was half hour of my time lol so happy days, thanks for your help I appreciate it merry christmas!

   Rumbling noise could be a wheel bearing.

   Ive checked for wheel bearing that seems fine theres no noise going straight either, just sometimes when turning corners
