Lol, been there before.
U prob took out the main fuse under bonnet. Look for black box up from battery to the rhs of abs pump. Open cover and inside a jewel of relays / fuses.

ebay, motor factors, no problem to source, if you haven't got a multimeter, 2 bits of wire and a bulb will show if power is present.

I have a complete fuse box from a R25 diesel, that has the mega fuse in it.

Pm me an offer if you still need it

Cheers
Dave
