Further information
Well I don't use the rear seats that much anyway - could be a start !
I have a development following todays tests , battery is cool , tested this morning and it is as new . Ran car for some time and let it get throughly hot but fans not on, turned off and restarted as it should. Then I left her ticking over for a further 15 mins with fans cutting on and off , waiting till gauge was reading 90 and fans were running flat out . Then shut car off (fans still running) tried to start and she turned over good as gold but wouldn't fire , then I waited till fans cut out and she started straight away . Next I repeated this but when I turned car off to restart I removed fuse to stop fans running and again not starting I waited for about 3 minutes put fuse back and fans had turned off and she started instantly . So next thing for me to try - probably over weekend now is check voltage when cranking with fans on and off , also to remove and check resistor for internal short as suggested by Catman and Lorenz - oh and check cranshaft sensor gap ! Thanks to everyone for the input and I will keep this updated .
