This is why I suggested rewiring independently, as what the garage are proposing (i.e. replacing the fusebox) is a major/costly undertaking.

You are right about the old original wiring, that is why a lot of us have had new engine, fans and fuel pump looms fitted which is costly but I am sure a good auto electrician should be able to do something to fix his problem.
