    Hey guys looking for a 50amp engine fuse for my 99 corolla. I've tried Autofactors, McConnells Toyota Garage and Halfords.

    McConnells said I could have a fuse Monday but would preferably like to find one tomorrow if possible.

    I'm going to try Deevys and Deise Parts tomorrow but if anyone knows where I could pick one up I'd be grateful!

    I just go to the petrol station up by ashleycourt and get fuses. Surely most petrol stations have them.

    You would think that, but engine fuses are different. Most places sell the smaller ones like this:

    The one I need is the one on the bottom left here:

    haha.. We already tried to Macgyver it, which worked and we got it out of town but also set off another problem which almost set the car on fire. I'm going wait to get a proper fuse before I do anything with it again.

    Yeah, ill have to get a mechanic to sort out the other problem. Just don't want to move it with the dodgy fuse.

    I didn't know about parts depot! Ill give them a ring in the morning. Sound.
