Fuses (55 Dimension)

[peteadams67]

Hi Ant
Any suggestions welcome. I was checking the fuse layout in the leisure battery compartment & found 3 of the old ceramic torpedo type fuses 2 blue 25amp 1 black can't identify rating I can remember these on a old Cortina I had I've tried the local spares shop but no luck just wanted a couple of spares.

It looks as if I'm going to do a mod. & fit newer type fuse holders also I'm not sure what they supply I've looked in the manual but on the circuit diagram it just shows the blade type I think maybe they could be the heater.
I can't understand Romahome using unobtainable fuses.
Regards Pete

Hi Pete.
The fuses relate to;
1 Blue 25amp goes to the zig panel.
2 Blue 25amp goes to the mains charger
3 Black 8 amp goes to the diesel heater( fuses can also be white for 8 amp)
I don't have any trouble getting the fuses from a motor factor, prhaps you supplier isn't trying very hard.
If both 25 amp fuses blow look at the 2nd battery as it may be faulty.
Thanks
Ant

Hi Ant
Many thanks for help regarding fuses I had some 8amp from the past but have now managed too obtain some online from consumerbulbs £1.50 for ten I also found Halfords had them in stock but dearer.
