fuses location please

Hi,
my mechanic is unable to get my climate contril to work again. For start, we can't locate fuse for it - cover says "next to the fuse box" but we simply can't see it.

Also, after replacing one blown small instrument globe, lighting for windows switches, airconditioning control unit, gearstick etc stopped working(including that globe) - fuses seem to be ok (the ones in the box, under the bonet. What am I missing here, please?

Depends on the day
The fuse for the climate control is closer to the front of the car just before the fuse box. It's in its own little case and houses a 30amp aluminum strip fuse. It's actually right by the strut mount.

hi and thanks,
my car is Australian model and it has no fuse in mentioned place, or anywhere I can see.
Also, that bonet button is not there either (although there is a similar one right in the middle at the front, next to the bonet lock (above the radiator)

The fuse for the window switch/accessory lighting is located on the rear of the instrument cluster. Look for a small red cap, which removes by twisting counter-clockwise. Good luck!
