Just curious about what caused fuse 21 in my iS to blow the other day. Not a problem, I changed it and the tacho, clock etc. all work again, but I'm wondering if it was a symptom of something else (or just bad luck/age etc.).

Sorry, dumb enough question I know...

Bodged up radio wiring, or a chaffed wire running along the boot hinge.

Ok, thanks. Must be the latter as the radio is OEM Blaupunkt.
