Well now i can put this thread to bed.First off a big thank you to @biketeacherdave for repairing my fuse box, Second check the fuse box is the correct one for your vehicle! !! When I plugged mine in I checked for power at the pin that supplies juice for the o/s screen.there was none but another pin was live so I popped the connector out of the plug and reinserted it in the position that becomes live.working heated screen now:D next problem was the dash lights lit but no power to the starter motor key turned to position 111.After phone calls and emails to @mozz smith I could start the engine by shorting the solinoid.Checked all the fuses this morning and replaced a couple of 10amp and it started off the key.went to start it later and fuse40 had blown (10amp) replaced and it started,when I checked my fuse cover fuse 40 shouldn't have a fuse in it!! I then checked the fuse box and the one I have is a MY 2000 and my car is a MY 98. Quick phone call to @biketeacherdave who checked his manual and he informed me the fuse should be 40 amp.so replaced and fingers crossed.bit of a saga but think I have a result.if you don't know its history check for the correct fuse box First. :D:D Here endeth today's lesson. Oh the airbag fault has gone as well WTF.​

Looks like someone knows there stuff would you have a look at mine Dave I’ve I post some pics of it it’s burnt underneath one of the relays but if you think it’s repairable I be more than happy to pay you rather than buy new and I know there was a work round on the burnt relay but it went over my head cheers

A burn on the pcb is pretty easy to repair if you can solder you just need to make up some bridging links.
If your not happy to cut open the fuse box to inspect and repair I completely understand.
I mite be able to sort it for you where are these pictures ?
 
It’s still on the car at the moment but will take it off tomorrow I’ve get a chance and post some got a bit of time now as I’m isolating because missus has to go into hospital for an op at end of month and has to isolate for two weeks so I’m off work as I meet a few people on my travels and it’s not worth risking her op being cancelled so be able to do few jobs to car weather permitting cheers Dave

Not a big job Pete,disconnect the battery,undo the positive lead from the fuse box,13mm nut 3 8mm bolts holding the fuse box turn it over unplug the wiring,their all colour coded to the box finally 3 10mm nuts holding the positive leads that power the BECM.You can strip the inside of the box out of the carrier to reduce the size and weight for postage along with the fuses and relays if you want.
