The time has come to sell the beast as I need an 'all rounder' rather than just a play car. I want the car to be in tip top condition for the next lucky owner (I beleive in selling things in a condition you would want to buy them in).

One problem is that I think the big fuse has gone - I have read here how to change it (www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=25784&f=6&h=0&hw=Alternator) but does anybody have a few photos of how to get to it?

Cheers

Remove the plastic cover that is held down by two alen key bolts on the wings

See if you can access the fuse (it's got a cover over it and is located at the back of the engine, behind the coil packs, in front of the starter motor. Prise open the cover to check the fuse condition and replace as required.

Depending on if you have enough space to work, you may need to do some or all of the following:

Remove the Air boxes
Remove the throttle linkage
Remove the fuel pipe to the fuel rail regulator
Remove the fuel rail.

The less you have to remove, the better.

Crikey! You should have to remove ANY of that lot - I never did. Surely it's worth persevering for ten minutes or so not to? A magnetic extendy thing is definitely useful for this sort of job
