Well £ 900 later and finally sorted. Started off as washers not working, auto electrician forgot to replace two fuses which set off all the dash lights etc when trying to fix them, that in turn stopped diagnostics communicating with Abs which led to removal and replacement of abs which led to main dealer doing diagnostic and Abs bleed. Also auto electrician said replace under bonnet fuse box which I also done.
All this hassle and cost because of two fuses and a halfwit electrician.
Glad it’s sorted but to say im pissed off would be understating it.

Good to see this is sorted. I guess you will not be using the auto electrician again. Sometimes it can work out cheaper to use a dealer at the start.

Re: Electrics doing strange things
Yes probably will in future, but something as simple as washers you would assume a sparks could sort. How wrong can you be?
Now we can actually get away for the first time since I converted it to a camper.

Yes that would be a reasonable assumption if you knew he was a proper sparks! Next time you meet someone claiming to be one, ask him to tell you Kirchoff's Laws. If he can he is probably what he claims to be if not go elsewhere!
