I am having problems with slot 4 & 6 on my 1991 - that's because these are in use all the time that the car is running. Any corrosion/dirt/poor contact on your fuseboard will act as a resistance and so reduce the voltage. Here is some advice that might help you out short term:
1 keep all of the contacts clean on the brass and on the fuses
2 plastic fuses are no good - they shrink. You need to use ceramic fuses
3 there is blurb on this forum for a source of brass fuses - reducing the electrolytic corrosion that you get from aluminium/brass contact
4 if needs be bend the contacts to get better pressure on the fuses - not too much, you will snap the brass
5 try Lakes for spare s/h fuseboxes (01480 212291)
I am either going to replace fully my fusebox, or replace fuses 4 & 6 with in line MCBs using flying leads/holders. If I do, I will post on here about it
Good luck. Nick
