Is a ciggy lighter on the same circuit? They're favourite as a 5 pence piece is a really nice fit in there!  :-?  :-?  :y

Well if you have a dodgy wire mate it will more than likely be arking,which in turn will blow a fuse.

I also have the same problem currently (no pun intended) it will go weeks without a problem and then 3, 4, 5 times within 15mins Grrr.... it has even blown a 30amp and it seems to happen more often on hot days (or is that me being paranoid ?) any body got any real advice coz i'm at the 'cat kicking' level of frustration right now !

you'd need to look at wiring diags to see whats connected to that circuit.  If alarm is, power sounder is a favourite
