Higher ampage fuse in lower ampage socket?

[McDisco]

If i do this will things go bang? It's just i had to use my fullbeam fuse for my dipped beam as my 7a went pop lastnight and the only spares i have are either 35a (i think) and some 15a.

Go and buy the correct fuse.
If you put a higher rated fuse in it'll cause damage elswhere first if the origional fault is not fixed, not at the fuse.

There must've been a reason for trhe fuse blowing in the 1st place.

Fix the problem, then fit the correct rated fuse

You could also "borrow" on of the 7.5A fuses for the front foglights from slots 29 or 30

yeah i was just after a tempory measure, then realised Halfords is open til 8!

The previous owner managed to bash the fogs apart so there's no fuses to nick from there. Got the 7.5's from Halfords now anyways, was just wondering if it was doable incase of emergancy is all.

Your fusebox lid has space for 5/6 spares, put a variety in there for future.

Absolutely not, under any circumstances! If the fuse blew there is a fault on that circuit, which may or may not reoccur.
An acceptable option, in an absolute emergency, is to take a 7.5A fuse from another position, use that fuse in place of the blown one, and fit your larger fuse in the now vacant position, but this fuse must be replaced by a new 7.5A one at the earliest opportunity.

It is done
