thanks thats a start. i might just try a low fuse and keep up rating until it doesnt blow at least i know then its close to the rating and probably lower than reccomended one.

Land Rovers with the same motor use 15amp hope this helps. As a back up if all working ok remove the fuse and fit amp meter in place of the fuse a switch the wipers on on the dry wind screen and get a reading and make sure the fuse is a little greater than the reading.
