So this lot must be really rare?



There are heaps of original Lucas fuses lurking under the dash of old Jags,
with the paper in them to make the smoke for the wires

Too many cars, and too little time.

I have some kind of issue with my 850's wiring. It blows fuses, and the Supercheap ones, rated at 35A still blow, so I figure wither I have a massive problem with the wiring, or they too blow at 35A instantaneous. It's probably the 60W main beams, in combination with wipers etc - haven't done enough detective work to figure it out as I am bone idle.

I have a blade-type fuse holder to go in, as soon as I figure out how to split the wires to provide different circuits for various items, like lights on one, wipers on another.

The light circuits were not originally fused. If your blowing 35 Amp fuses you have a short somewhere, either faulty wiring or a faulty device on that particular circuit.
Find which it is by a systematic process of elimination.
Disconnect all circuits at the fuse block on the circuit side of the fuses, terminals A2 and A4 (not the input side), and reconnect them one at a time and find the faulty circuit. Then check all the circuit insulation and whatever device is on that circuit. There aren't that many. Only the horn and interior light on one fuse, usually Purple coloured wires (On all the time) and the stop lights, wipers, indicators, instrument regulator and gauges, and maybe the heater fan on the other fuse, usually Green coloured wires (IGN ON circuits).

This will give you a start.
