This is possibly gonna sound a bit wimpish but Ive never pulled a 100 amp

Literally been waiting months for an engineers visit and thinking that a
power cycle *might* sort it.
Obviously theres a fair chance that it might not but if I can do it easily
and safely it seems worth a shot.

Switch everything off beforehand and prepare yourself for the carrier
disintegrating as you pull it (it almost certainly won't do that but you
wouldn't want to find yourself hanging-on to a live bit if it did) with
rubber gloves and isolation. As others have said, there's some doubt
about whether pulling the fuse will have the desired effect.
