Can anyone help me and let me know how to remove the white 120 amp alternator fuse from the front fuse box, mine has fefinitely blown but I cant work out how to get it out without breaking something.

Cheers

From what i was told you have to undo a bolt at the bottom of the fuse box to get it out.

just took a pic for you :D

fuse rack = the plastic thats got the big fuses on

First you have to unscrew the fuse box off the body. Then to unclip the fuse rack at the top and pull the fuse rack out of the fuse box. Then you get to unbolt the 120amp fuse

hope that helps

No problems, :thumleft: got one from MrT and fitted it in 5 minutes on Saturday.
Took longer for the alternator to come, fitted that yesterday and everything is back to normal.
Will teach me to disconnect the battery next time I work on the alternator.
