Did you disconnect your starter battery before you started ???? sounds as though you may have inadvertantly "shorted" somthing whilst messing about......pull out the bits of broken fuse and fit a new one....see what happens and report back.

No i didn't
I did notice this wire from your wonderful temp gauge and presumed it was damaged when the belt broke. It was all working well up to now but i did move the cable to get my fuse murdering hands in there.
how do i get the old bit out ? they seem like they are pretty solid. Where to get a new one quick? Thanks for the link Wonkanoby.

That temp gauge cable is a write off....unplug it from the back of the display unit.....unbolt the other end from the cylinder head and send it back to me ....I will try and fix it.

I could be way off here but I was led to believe the 100 amp had to be unscrewd underneath

Correct, theres a bolt under neath that goes through the holder and through the 2 copper legs that you see in the picture.
Thats the reason why it just broke when you tried pulling it out Baz
