Thanks for your help Bigbo. I'm waiting for it to cool down, then I'll have a go at getting the cover off and see what happens.

Thanks Bigbo.
I was hopeful that it was nothing too serious. However, I suspect it is.
I put the air con on full blast (as that's what my son did when he started the car just prior to the issue) ... |

If I get a mechanic who is more local to fit it, won't they need to use ... |

Are you aware of the Fuse 18 trick?
