50amp fuse

Post by paulflan1958 »

hi can anybody tell me where the 50 amp fuse is that links glow plugs to van. ive been having some alternator probs but solved that now,van started and ran great, but got up next morning van turned over great but no start, but used to start before i had alternator probs with a recharched battery or jump leads. rac came out sprayed something in air filter took a while but fired up. later in day no joy, been reading forum which leads me to 50amp fuse because rac said it could be glow plugs, but as i said earlier started fine, so wondering if i have blown fuse. Can any one give me some advice.

It is a metal strip fuse in the plastic box in the engine compartment.
