Main 100 amp fuse blow?

It's situated on the drivers side of the oil sump.

About centre of the sump alongside where the sump bolts to the engine. (well it is on my 98 Chim)

It's a little plastic box with a screw lid.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like a dead alternator to me. You don't always get a warning light with faults. Is the battery flat? Will the engine start from a good battery?
