Fuseboxes and Fuse Location No credit (or responsibility) is claimed for the following information - it is easier for me to find when I need itThe 1007 has two fuseboxes: one in the Passenger Glove Box (RHD models)
and one in the engine compartment next to the battery
If a blade fuse looks like a blade fuse and has a 10amp rating marked on, you assume it to be a 10amp blade fuse - WRONG
Out of interest (together with an element of suspicion), I tried to blow two unbranded 10amp fuses. They took 23amps continuous current - got hot (melted the plastic) but didn't blow. Same with a 7.5amp fuse - took 23amps without blowing. This means that, should something go faulty then at least 23amps could pass continuously into the fault. This would most likely result in smoke and a damaged wiring loom.
I checked the few original remaining fuses I had, marked Littelfuse - they all blew at rating plus about 20%, no more. Perfection.
SO there are good fuses and bad fuses. The eBay listings only seem to offer unbranded types - having been caught out once I won't be going down that route again. The original fuses for my Jaguar were made by Littelfuse - so after some hunting I ordered a set A04030 to be sure of having fuses that will actually BLOW when overloaded.
DO NOT BUY UNBRANDED FUSES
check ALL your fuses are marked Littelfuse (or other recognised brand) NOW

the two 40amp fuses here are the ones for the sliding doors, one for each door.
Access to the fuse panel in the glove box is not obvious: - first release the white lever (mine was already broken and the panel is well enough secured without it) which locks the panel in position with a quarter-turn.
Then reach underneath and feel for a springy piece of plastic; on my RHD cars this is on the left near the back of the fuse panel (closest to the lid and the outside of the car). Push this sideways at the same time as pulling the fuse box assembly forward and down.
The whole box can be lowered by pulling forward and the bulkhead end downwards so the pegs disengage along the grooves - it is a tight fit but simple once you know!
The cigar lighter socket is fed from F22 (this is on the second row back; yellow 20amp fuse just to the right of the link SH)
Engine Compartment Fuses
The engine compartment fusebox is under the bonnet, to the right of the battery when standing in front of the car. Access is by pushing the clip holding the right-hand edge to the right; this should release the cover which simply lifts off.
If this lid is not replaced properly, WATER CAN GET INTO THE FUSEBOX and can drain down into the FUSEBOX IN THE GLOVE LOCKER with dire results. Locate the lid in position and press down hard until the clip at the right hand edge clicks into place.
