Just looked at mine Daz , the heater on the van that is , it looks like the same holder as yours , it’s showing signs of degrading now  , I bet a £ to a pinch of poop that it’s the problem , mine took 2 attempts to fire up last Friday but I thought nothing of it at the time.

I'm so lazy I'm getting tired of it !

The problem is a dirty connection between the fuse and the holder and it’s not creating a good circuit and is then arching causing heat and the melting of the holder this will cause the boiler to cut out just needs the holder replacing and a squirt of electrical contact cleaner every few weeks/ months .

Cheers mate....I've managed to order some bullet connectors from Amazon......rs components have a minimum order of 25 inline fuse holders....I dont need that many! :)

Almost sounds to me like the heater needs cleaning out/ de coking if it’s not blowing the fuse.
Prob looking at two hours of windowcleaners wages to service (£200 +).

If fitting a new fuse holder and fuse doesn't solve the problem I'll get it serviced.....

Time to replace it with a new one me thinks!  ;D

Try and borrow a proper crimping tool too if you’re changing the bullet connectors. Most electricians would have one. They ratchet the crimp and do a proper job.

Mine are flat connectors not bullets I checked them today it looks fine although where it connect from inside the cabinet I can see a bit of wire before the flat crimp.

Get a bit of insulation tape round the bare wires mate ASAP and make sure they haven't come out of the crimp!(they shouldn't do).....
