You would have a dead short somewhere on one of those circuits. You could try disconnecting everything that is on that circuit and then put the fuse back in. Then start plugging things back in until the fuse blows.

That will be able to tell you what is stuffed then just replace it.

Don't put fuses 3 X the specified size. You could end up burning wires before you blow the fuse.

With the fuse out you shouldn't be able to measure 12v across it.

If none of that makes sense then you will need a auto electrician.

I literally just unplugged everything out if the doors the dash and the centre console and the fuse blew when i turned it over

This is a big big no no.

Youll melt insulation and start a fire doing that.

Hey guys i appreciate the interest you showed but problem is now fixed. After all those above problems i realised i had also lost my power steering. It turned out the speed sensor wires on the gearbox broke and they go back to the meter fuse. Just connected those two wires on the gearbox and got my power windows steering reverse lights and all the dash back. Hope anyone else is helped by this.......the guy i found in the yard at 5am is still a worry though
