So I accidentally slightly twisted and broke the cap off of this 225 fuse. (don't ask :cry: )

How fucked am I?

The car still starts and everything seems to be working, doesn't appear to be broken, just a bit bent. Going to try to get a replacement one somewhere to keep in the car even if I don't need to replace it.

Have done the same thing in the past overtightening the nut. Readily available at ford spare parts or grab one out of a wreck.

I'm sure many have done the same, I know I have.
It's a crap design.

All you've done is split the cover, stick it back on and you'll be fine.

You can get a similar one from Repco if you really want to, it's just a Mega Fuse nothing special.

I am slightly worried that it might blow if its weakened so ill just keep a spare in the car.

Not sure what to stick it back on with that wont melt or worse.
