GSF series one fuseboxes any good?

My indicators have given up again.

Autoelectrician who fixed it last time, about 2 years ago said there was a big voltage drop across the fusebox.

Tonight I managed to wiggle the relay and it worked again for a bit then nothing.

So, GSF list them on there site, wondered if any one had tried them? Are they much cheaper than VAG? GSF list price is ?76 plus VAT.

Pete i don't want to slate but everything electrical i have ever purchased from that certain place has only lasted months. VW quality best in my honest opinion.

Oh, relay 20 or is it 21, maybe 18, I forget now, very common in VWs (mk1 and 2) most breakers yards have them, 3 /4pin and will cost no more than 2 quid.

Take all the relays from a mk2 or mk1 and give th yard a tenner, one will fit.

Just phoned VW and they offered me a second hand one for ?35+VAT with 3 months Warranty.

Didn't know VW did second hand stuff, anyone ever heard of this?

I went to VW once in search of a fuse box. I pulled a face at the price and went to leave. As I left the sales guy called me back and told me that I could have it for half price if I met up with him in the local tube station car park that night.

I just laughed and walked out!

Never saw him again….
