Fuse 18 is headlamp so it shouldn't affect starting even if it is blown. If its 17 thats your electronics much more difficult.

Blimey, I'm confused now :D

The 2.9 12v is your son's, you own a 2.3 16v - right? ::)

If it's the 2.3, do you mean ignition loom or fuel cut-off loom which goes to the cylinder head? Why the new fusebox - what problems was it for?

You need to get a ammeter on there in place of the blowing fuse and trace where the short is coming from.

Regards, Bruce :)
