Yup--Seen a few like that over the years!

Best replace ALL the fuses with the Copper type or the Brass ones.

The white 8A ones tend to be Brass, and the Red 16A ones Copper.
--These will be fine. Best preventative repairs you can do for the elect. system!

Avoid like the plague the silver (Aluminium) fuses--They set up some kind of electrolytic reaction--especially when damp-- between the ally strip and the copper spring contact of the fuse-board.

They then fail exactly like that one pictured!
