I now have a fix of my problem.
The previous owner had installed an electric radiator fan, this suffered badly from inadequate voltage, so I interposed a relay,(with an integrated fuse), with remarkable improvement, the fan really percolates now.
He took the feed for the fan from the fuse block supplying the windscreen wiper/washer. I ran a new electric line directly from the + terminal, and failed to disconnect the original line.I also failed to tape up the end of the original wiring. Over time the +ve end of the PO's found its way to an earth!!
Blown fuse every time.
Reminds me of the cow who delivered 2 gallons of lovely creamy milk, and on the way out of the dairy she kicked over the pail!!!!
