lights, radio, heated rear windows, central locking have all stopped
working. I have checked all the fuses in the box under the drivers side
dash, all seem ok. can anyone help please?

Not sure what a Sharan is, but do know this is the aircooled group (old
bugs, buses, ghias, etc). You may want to check another group for an
answer.

A VW Sharan is a minivan that was designed together with Ford and
VW/Seat.  Three cars were launched under different brand names, a VW
Sharan, a Seat Alhambra, and a Ford Galaxy. They are pretty much
identical and just badged differently.

They are also all watercooled and therefore do not belong here, in this
group.

Yes, Jan you are correct and they are made in Portugal, but I have
nothing to do with it :-)

A Seat is Portugese?
When I used to visit Germany for business they gave me this pretty
peppy little Seat turbo. My German coworkers told me it was actually a
VW - not sure if that is true, because they used to tell me that
anything that worked well was German - kind of a standing joke, I guess
:)
Took that thing all over the Swiss and Italian alps. Was surpised at
its handling and performance - that's actually a fun little car to
drive.

I thought it was Spanish,
but yes from Volkswagen (like Skoda is too, Chech Republic).

No Remco, the Seat is Spanish although it belongs to Group VAG (VW,
Audi, Skoda and Seat) and a lot of parts are VW. (engines,
transmissions, switches, electric components  and a lot more)

Ah, I thought it was... thanks for clearing this out.

BTW João, congrats on 'your' Victory in the World Cub.
It was deserved but not quite a match... more like a war zone.

Gotcha both (Roger and João).
Still a neat little car. The one I had was a brand new rental so it was
nice and tight. Suspect it was groaning a little when I handed it back.
;)

Btw, congrats to your team, João - you guys seem to have spanked our
team (Roger and Mine, that is). :)

Seat belongs to the VAG family as do VW, Audi and Skoda. They use
same parts and chassis for different models. Skodas are manufactured
in the Czech Republic, Audis in Germany and Hungary (+ Thailand, China
and Brazil) and VWs in Germany (+ god knows where) and Seats in Spain.
