As promised, work has started on Sammy today.
Trying to understand the fusebox I have. Picture attached.
Anyone have reference to a wiring diagram that is comparable please?

Thank you for that.
Did not see it before I spent time preparing an Excel sheet with each wire colour notated.

Electrics, to me, having been a civil / structural engineer are treated with great care as I have never fully understood how it all works!!
Add to that the forgetfulness of an 82 year old, some system needs to be in place to compensate.

My Fuse ratings, as fitted, slightly different from Rankine's set-up.

Are you fitting your own fuse board or just taking notes for records? There's a company in Spain doing a replacement fuse board that plugs straight in.

A previous owner has not fitted the correct rated fuses in yours. I would swap them out to the ones in the picture Rankine shared.
