this is exactly what i thought would be the problem with the fuse box.
done a process of illimation anyway cos its stated messing about when trying to start it, dont start first time anymore, must of been something i done while messing about.
was the problem spotted easy mate? or was it tested with a meter first?
gunna pull box out later/tomorrow and have a look
