Just connected new battery the wrong way round, and blew about 10 fuses.... So anyone know where I can go out and get some more tomorrow? They have them on ebay, but would like to buy in person...

These ones:

They are called APS, also.

Eurocarparts don't stock them.

So they are much cheaper in Maplins, as it happens.

But I also needed a couple of Jcase fuses, which are harder to find.

And the main 180A fuse has also blown. I'm not sure what the procedure is for replacing that, it's in a block, similar to this:

but I'm not sure if you need to replace the whole block, or you can do an individual fuse.

So it looks like you have to change the whole fuse block, part #8262050110. Doesn't look like it will be that easy to find, but who knows...

looks like it costs £140, but Lexus won't order it for me unless I go to the garage in person to pre-pay for it.
