I will try this next. I have wire brushed the earths on the wing by the battery but not sure ive done the rest. I think the next thing to do is process of elimination and remove all the fuses. As for setting it on fire i think the way you guys have said will be best lol.

[/URL] So i found the o2 sensor and it looked a little dirty around the casing but looked ok on the inside. I unplugged it and started her up but the fuse still blew :(. Not sure whether ive mentioned this or whether it helps in any way but some times when i start the car the fuse doesnt...

I will try the 02 sensor in a couple of hours if i can find it lol. Il have a look in my manual n see where it is located n how to unplug it. Cheers will let you all know how it goes.

[/URL] This is the picture one of you sent me. Ive marked the bits i have replace. Not sure if this will help you diagnose the problem but worth a try.

No mate one starter i got from my mates freelander n the other i got from a freelander i bought for parts. Tried spraying all the connections. Got a couple more wires to replace if they dont work then its time for an auto electrician.

Heads up my arse mate. When the fuse blows i just wait until i need to start it again then either replace the fuse or bump start it.

Fuse box has been replaced so i dont see how that could be the problem. I do believe you are right and its time for an auto electrician to have a look. Trouble is they are so bloody expensive!!

I have replaced the ignition switch and the immobiliser ring today but fuse is still blowing. Here is a list of the things ive replaced. Let me know if ive missed anything please. Starter motor (twice) Battery Ignition switch Immobiliser ring Relay box Fuse box Starter to battery wire Starter...

All other electrics work as they should. I havnt checked the computer i will check that when the rain stops. Cheers.

Yep, relay box been replaced. A mate told me to take the belt off of the alternator and start the car. He said if the fuse still blew then it had nothing to do with the alternator. The fuse did blow so the altenator has been ruled out.

Ive changed the fuse box and the relay box with ones from my donor hippo.

Also just thought on. I swapped that wire the other day so cant be that.

Yes just read it sorry i was in work so couldnt pay much attention. The fuse blows as soon as the engine fires up most of the time but on a couple of occasions it doesnt blow until a few seconds later. The other day it didnt blow at all and i took the fuse out while the car was still running. I...

With the starter motor being earthed through the engine do you think i should remove the starter and clean all around where it goes with a wire brush? I have replaced the earth from the battery to the engine. Also replaced the starter twice. As for my sanity it seems to be just about gone :(

Yes mate. Im not mechanical and have no idea about the way a car or its electrics work. I am learning tho

The fuse that is blowing is in the engine compartment and is marked as SM which i gather means starter motor. When i did the test i put the jump lead from the battery live to the starter solenoid connection as thats what my mate told me to do. The engine started up ok first time but blew the...

Also i know its a long shot but i noticed a brake light was out. Could this be causing it?

A friend is trying to help me figure out the problem but lives far away so cant come help. He told me to connect a jump lead to the positive on the battery and touch the other end on the solenoid connection. I did this with the wore off the connection. It started but blew the fuse. He said that...
