Sounds like a misfire coil/spark plug? or wiring to coil.
Probably what ever is blowing the fuse is putting to much current through it - that's why the fuse is there, so that you replace cheap fuses not expensive components.
If you look at my post #97 I suggested removing the wire from fuse F1 so that the wiring to the starter motor and O2 sensor is taken out of action. That is basically what the electrician did. He proved the fault is there, but then didn't go on to find out where!
You'll need to do this. Post #99 then goes on to describe taking just the O2 sensor out of action which will then tell you if its the O2 or starter wiring. Its also possible the wire from fuse F1 to the relay housing has a short. From what others have said though, it is likely to be the O2 wiring.
This would have been sorted out ages ago if the OP had followed the advise given by a couple of members #83 to #87 :doh:
Doesn't say much for your auto electrician that he couldn't find a bared wire shorting to earth. I would have been like you and tearing hair out but something like that should be easy money for an auto spark.

I know mate they should have fugured out what it was. They charged me £45 to diagnose the problem which they said was the main relay unit. They told me i needed to buy a new one at £80 ++. Going to ring them today for my money back as they diagnosed it wrong. Wont be going there in the future.
Yeh, and you've been moaning since #22 - dunno about OldSkool, maybe OldGit ?
Ive not been 'moaning' as you put it i gave some sound advice based on my knowledge and the information given by the OP, all i said was this could have been sorted earlier if the OP had checked something that myself and YOU had suggested.
If thats moaning where you come from then i apologize :censored:.
