If I had to characterise this one's failure I'd probably liken it to a surprise bout of diarrhea. A fast, forceful, whooshing emission with a strong and distinctive aroma that doesn't want to wash off.

Funnily enough that's exactly what I said to my friend yesterday. Quote:

"Hoping 400V polypropylene might have a bit more margin and if they burn up in another 39 years a) may not smell was bad, and b) will be someone else's problem"

I mean technically I may still be around at that point but probably won't be able to climb the loft ladder to get to it :)
