Where can i get replacement fuse's.
I blew an 8amp tonight linked to cig lighter and might as well get spares for all

You should be able to get them from your local motor factors.

I often replace them all when I get a new car as old ones can sometimes give problems.

If there is space in the fusebox for a few spares that is useful too ;)

Thought of motor factor shop but i had never seen this type before black plastic strip with the half round metal bullet's on either end

Can't remember what they are called perhaps Continental?

They are fitted to old Mercs so I see them regularly!

Yes I believe 'Continental' is the correct name for them. Halfords sell these and I would have thought any car accessory shop will have them. But isn't black meant to be 16 amp and white for 8 amp?

Dave.
You are right they are called continental jst spoke to guy in motor factor on phone they are still common enough, fit merc as said and renault
I just thought they might be hard to get as i had not seen that type before.
Issue closed thanks..

All fuses in box were black 8amp 10amp etc plastic with bullets im sure but will double check and post if they are not
Thanks ....

I think black is 16amp, white 8amp, yellow 5amp, red 20amp green 30amp. My memory is too bad and I am mostly guessing here but I could check....

Fuses colours as follows in order on fuse box in amps.Going to go through them all tomorow to check they are all correct as the cig lighter one that blew was an 8amp and should have been 10amp These are the only 2 colours used in my fuse box Green & Black.
6 green
5 green
9 green
10 black
11 black
12 green
13 green
14 green
7 green
2 black
3 green
4black

As far as I know 131 fuses are of two kinds, 8 Amp and 16 Amp. You should change them all if they're old as even if not broken they usually lose their conducting power with time and could give you very bad problems, in my car radiator fan switch fuse (apparently good) failed and as a result I got boiling coolant. Also my lights were pretty low and my wiper too. So I changed all the fuses and there was a difference as from night to day.

I found the below on the Internet after a quick search. It would seem from that that multiple colours are used for the same rating and both black and white are 8 amp.

Im an idiot ignore my last post dont know what i was thinking ive had my coffee now.

You were right about the fuses i replaced them all and a big improvment in the wipers still slow but beter than they were they hardly moved with old fuse set.
Thanks

I'm happy it was useful to you, about the wipers I renewed it dismantling the whole system and changing the plastic bushes that keep in place the wipers, I changed them because the drivers one was weared out and caused malfunction and water leak when car was cleaned, removing the inner grease. For the system to work good you'll need new plastic bushings and rubber o-ring that keep water off, if you can't afford them separately you'll need a new system. Apart this I had the electrical engine burned out so I changed it.

I would look at the condition of the earth wire to the wiper motor at the end where it attaches to body as your problem could be there

RE :new plastic bushings and rubber o-ring

If anybody knows where to get them please sound off.

Does Yagmur carry them ?

Miro

you better ask Yagmur for the full system, it's worth the price (and it's cheap compared to european standards).

Well , I need to use it for my 124 and I ma not sure if the systems were the same.

PS I have a spare brand new system for my 131.
