1. Electric windows/sunroof, the fuse keeps blowing, doesn't seem to be one window in particular that blows it, fuse rating is correct. Where should I look first?

2. Power steering is temperamental, diffficult to turn when first started, but comes to life after being used for a bit?

Any help much appreciated!

Fuse 17 is the fuse for the windows/roof with the doors closed and the ignition on. Fuse 28 is the fuse for the windows/roof with the front doors open.
Which one blows,or both?

Check the condition of the power steering fluid. Should be a nice shade of red. If not flush and change it ASAP. Also check the belt tension.

Cheers Brian, I meant to mention it was fuse 17.

Belt is OK, but fluid has seen better days, will try and get it done tomorrow.
