Do you remember my tribulations about non starting and EAS faults? Well here's a post script.
Turned out that the blowing of fuses in the starter circuit was down to the EAS compressor being seized!
Yes, the new one that I thought I was clever to have bought in an ebay 'make an offer' back at the start of lockdown.
I know, I know, I should have known better for a hundred quid but the ad offered OE spec, 2 year guarantee etc.
I should have solved the problem, as I did in the end, by fitting a seal set to my old one - about a tenner for the whole kit!
Ebay no help - "You've had it too long." Paypal offered to help but although it was sent from the Midlands, it had to be returned to China and even then the decision on a refund lay with the seller! Best price to return it was 60 quid! That's a NO then.
We live and learn I suppose.
To be fair, over the years I have had good experiences with cheap, pattern parts. Maybe my comeuppance was long overdue.
