So I googled them and bought 120 from B & Q for £5 inc delivery. Theyve arrived but the 20v ones are way smaller than mine. Anyone know how come? Are these for newer cars? Cheers.

Smaller ones stop the fusebox taking up too much space. Click to expand... That diagram, doesn't even cover the full range of styles. There are higher current rated ones, which have bolt terminals at the ends.
