    Have you actually checked the fuse? Describe the problem exactly.

    Yeah..., get rid of that before you start a fire. Seriously. There is so much wrong with tin foil wrapping the fuse I could exceed the character limit explaining it.

    Get the rating off the fuse, go into a Maplin and pick up the correct replacement fuse for it. Get time-delay instead of fast blow (the motor has a high spike load). So if you're fuse says F20A, get a 20A time delay (A/S20A). They're about €3 for a pack of ten and they have the added bonus of not starting a fire if/when it overloads again.

    Remember, fuses don't blow for no reason. Replace the fuse with another fuse and if it happens again you'll know for sure you have an electrical fault.
