All the details are listed in the Handbook which Andrew has put up a link to. The fog lights are covered by Fuse No.1 in the Central...Drivers side...fusebox. Relay No.9 in the same box also covers them. The lay out of the box is in the handbook.

Has your 2.3 actually got foglights fitted? Some models just have blank lenses, as with my 12valve when I got her some 5 years ago. Easy enough to fit new ones as I vaguley remember. The most difficult bit was getting the bland fog lenses out. I'm sure somebody who has done the job recently will soon pop up to give you up to date and accurate info. :). The links suggested by Scorpio-man are a good start.

My own view concerning the Sunroof; if it ain't leaking and as it's Winter and raining and if you have to work outside leave it till the weather is better 8).

Maybe i'm wrong, but i think if they are false fog lights it will be one complete lens for the fog and indicator, but if they are fog lights it would be 2 seperate lenses one for the fog and one for the indicator,
