I had a guy come in with a Triumph TR6 - the car kept dying on him and wouldn't start - just blew fuses.

Several garages had had a go at it but couldn't find the problem.

He left it with me for a few days and I went through that car from end to end, checked all the wires for continuity and for shorting out.

The thing started for me every time, I just could not replicate the fault.

He turns up to collect the car and I jokingly said "I bet it won't start for you", it didn't and blew the fuse!

Long story short, he had had it restored and the clowns had trapped the fuel pump live feed under the seat runner - only the owner was heavy enough to cause the wire to short out....
