but the dreaded big fuse let me down so i'm extending the wires and using a better quality fuse holder as i could'nt get a 100amp circuit breaker anywhere
i'm using a 125amp fuse this should be ok and hopefully last a lot longer

i'll post some pics when i have done the cables if anybody is intrested??

I bought a couple of spare fuses and carry them in the boot - just in case.

What do you believe the purpose of the 100A fuse is? Other than to fail periodically for no apparent reason leaving you stranded? As far as I can see it is pointless because the problem it protects you against (a short in the alternator/loom) is one that never ever happens. Ucked 100A fuses on the other hand, we hear about every other week.

Looks like a brilliant fix Cossie, the only problem for me is finding the damn original in the first place ??
