This relates to cars with an aluminium fuse box and cover located immediately in front of the bulkhead on the offside.

Having recently suffered a blown wiper fuse while the car was in the garage and about to depart early morning in the dark and rain, I thought about improving fuse identification, as it was not immediately apparent which fuse protected the wipers.

The information displayed on the outside of the fuse box cover is not exactly helpful. For a start, the block identifications are wrong as the block labelled A is actually B and vice versa. Identifying the individual fuse numbers is interesting as well.

My solution was to replicate the actual fuse location/identification and create a label using a Word file on the laptop. This was printed out, trimmed to a useable size and then laminated to seal in the paper. Velcro strip was then glued to the underside of the fuse box cover and the reverse side of the laminated pouch. If required the laminated fuse information may be peeled off but I suspect I shall leave it attached as per photo.

What else do we have on board apart from spare fuses? Spare relays - parked next to the live repays, a pair of plastic business card holders containing a torch, screwdriver, Allen keys, foldable mirror, cable ties, insulating tape, cuddly toy etc etc - the lids secured with re-useable cable ties. Oh and a piece of rag to wipe the bits with...
