all i got from a auto electritian was some ohhhh and arrrr over the phone so i guess you guys are better
cheers hope you can help

 

escort fuse boxs are prone to shorting out that could be your problem.i had a similer prob but car used to cut out then start again before the fuse box went altogether.

 

id give the fusebox a shot, know a bloke had a similar thing in an orion, was a knackered fusebox

 

cheers guys found the prob loose earth so back on the road cheers for your help most apriciated
