    asking here as mechanic isnt interested

    Sounds very much like the dreaded CAS. to me. Mine had similar symptoms. (Twice in fact ).Let us know. If it is the CAS make sure you do the whole kit, bearings and all.( CAS =Crank Angle Sensor ):)

    New Car

    The fuse issue is best resolved with an in line circuit breaker.My sparky fitted one but it wouln't be hard to DIY.Get bits and ask a car sparky for tips or get him to fit it.Common prob. This fault maybe contributing to amp prob too.Make sure you have good earths everywhere.Bestaluk Groucho:unsure:
