I take it you mean the Pink Slow-Blow one, in the battery fuse box, which is for the Ignition.

If not this post shows all three fuse boxes, fuses and circuits:- L400 Fuse Boxes

This link is for the engine electrical system workshop manual:- https://app.box.com/s/m13elyhmhh64i4fseawch0hh1myzs7ds/file/855697358715

There are circuit diagrams, which should show it.

I have fitted a different bolt in type 30 amp fuse, it lasted for ten days and has blown again any ideas why.

Auto electrician diagnosed it to a faulty starter, its a v6 petrol. I can get to the bottom starter bolt but the top one is not visible and impossible to get a hand too, anyone changed one of these.

Try using a mirror to see it, then use an obstruction spanner, as per items below.

Starter cost ninety pounds exchange unit, its quite small and only has two bolts . one goes through the starter from the front the other fits through the back and screws into the threaded hole in the starter, both bolts are available to undo with a small socket and long extension bars, best to keep the bonnet shut to keep out sunlight out and the higher the front end of the Deli is the better. I raised it to allow front wheel ramps for easier access.

Sounds easier than doing the one on the L400, which is bolted into the transmission Bell Housing.

But easy if you have the transmission off! Laughing

It was not easy, the top bolt is obscured by the loom and the wire clip that is attached to the top bolt and loom, the old starter was the original Mitsubishi one, not bad for 26 years
