Fuse ratings - any recommended changes??



To All,

I took my car to work yesterday to give it a run prior to Gaydon (drives lovely but needs a twin-turbo !) and on my way home the electric windows stopped working. I traced this down to a blown fuse and after checking the windings on each motor for a potential short I replaced the fuse and they worked OK. The no. 11 fuse that was blown was rated at 15amps but in the book this is supposed to be 30amps. Is/ has there been any recommended changes to fuse ratings per fuse i.e. to reduce the rating to reduce the risk of wiring damage?

While I was there I also found my headlamp fuse & part of the lower fusebox nice and melted. I have disconnected the battery for now and will wire in an inline fuse to bypass the fuse socket so I can come to Gaydon. Has anyone else had this problem? Looking at the fusebox it looks a bit flimsy to me and I'm tempted to install a new modern one.

See you at Gaydon,

Nick.
