Default I can't find Good Quality Fuses !

Everywhere I've looked in the UK on line I can only find cheap
aluminium blade fuses.
I have tried VW and Renault main dealers but they only have
(and use in their workshops) these cheap ones.
Can anyone point me to a source of quality brass bladed fuses
that I can buy in reasonable numbers. I don't want packs of 500!
If need be I will buy from the US.

I use these people, for various things, although so far not fuses which they sell. A quick 'phone call will let you know what quality their fuses are.

Search for Littelfuse or Bussman for good quality ATO/ATC fuses.

You do not want "brass bladed fuses" - what on earth has convinced you that that is so good??

That is how cheap Chinese fuses look...

Hi Brian

You NEED the same fuses I use...

They have a little LED lump in the top of them and when the fuse blows, the little LED lights up...they are absolutely brilliant, I have changed all of mine for them...I paid around 19p each from memory...


These are they but a little pricey ...shop around for them >>> http://www.maplin.co.uk/smart-blade-...with-led-49003


All the best Brett
