Hi..can anyone tell me the difference between the following part numbers? I understand they will be for different chassis numbers, but are they all the same shape? same fittings etc?

AMR3138

They're the same overall dimension and shape (like where the two bolts attach it to the bulkhead)

but i think you'll find the difference is the shape/size of the cut-out in the middle that holds the fuseblock itself.....

early 90/110 had the large glass fuse type holder, then 200tdi's had the blade fuse block (quite large, two rows of fuses)

my Td5 has 2 smaller blade type holders in a row.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the reply, I assumed it must be something like that. I was planning on making a part to replace the original glass fuse holders with blade alternatives, but if there already available there would be little point!

Your TD5 with 2 smaller blade type holders, how many fuses will that hold? My solution should be able to take 16, 8 per row...2 more per row than my current glass fuse holder..

Hi Matt,

Unlike Western, I had no end of trouble with my glass fuses, so replaced them with a fuse block available from Vehicle Wiring Products (part number FBB8U). Just a tiny bit of filing to make the panel hole slightly longer and no more problems with the electrics!
