Help -lost my virginity !

[Mr.Cerbera]

Ok, well, not quite, but at least I hope you're looking at this desparate appeal coz I've actually lost my 'Big Fuse'.

Just had problems with the speedo not reading so I thought I'd look at the BF first (will look at speedo sensor later) and I can't find it.

This is the view from Driver's side looking at the throttle linkage and you can see the uncovered intake for cylinder 8.



This is a closer view of the same with the Starter Motor heat shield in view


and, finally, from the Passenger's side with,again, the heat shield and is that the Fuel Rail pressure regulator at the top of shot ??


If anypone can bmp these shots and add an arror pointing to where the BF should be I would ne internally grateful.

Yours,

A miserable pleader

It should be right on the back of the engine.Look a bit further down.Failing that follow the main cable from the battery,as a previous owner may have moved it for easier access.I did with mine.

OK BT will go re-fishing

Thanks !

Hmmmmm, well that didn't prove too illuminating. It looks as if there could be something hidden in the very crack of the 'V' (where the battery cable disappears) but I'd have to cut at least a dozen cable-ties off to get at it and no-one else has mentioned having to do that so I'm a bit worried about going in juggling buzz-saws.

Gulp !

Think I'll go and have a beer moment and give it a good coat of thinking over !

Perhaps a previous owner put it on his mantlepiece to make it more accessible ??

The previous owner may have removed the BF. It's not unheard of.

It's in a little black plastic "box" at the back of the engine.

It's pretty much under the dash / windscreen and it's difficult to see it at the best of times.

Does this help. Mines a 4.2.



How do I get it bigger? The pic you pervs.

Jesus, that is close to Cerb Porn. I dream of having a view as clear as that.
(My wife's gynaecologist's favourite phrase !)

I shall show the photo to my Cerb and taunt "That's how you do it !"
