Default Desperate for help with my non starter X type

New on here but I think I have read every post so far lol.

I will make this as small as possible, about 6 weeks ago the glow plug wearing light started to flash up, it went into limp mode then cut out all together. AA called, he diagnosed the crankshaft sensor, he took me up to euro parts and got a new one and replaced it, car would still not start and after about 2 hours he gave up and towed me home.

I then got a mobile mechanic to my house and he replaced my fuel filter, drained my battery and could not do anymore work and charged me £70 for it without any further diagnostic help.

Since then I have changed all of the glow plugs, changed the camshaft sensor, done a leak test on the injectors, one of which is a bit off but nothing that would stop it from starting, checked the fuel pump which is working fine, checked the EGR valve which is blanked off anyway and is ok, replaced the glow plug relay and finally checked the glow plug wiring harness with a multi meter which is also ok.

The puzzling thing that is getting to me is the the glow plug fuse F22 keeps blowing when I turn the ignition on.

Does anyone on this great forum have any idea why fuse F22 keeps blowing and why I can't start the bloody car. Help!!!!?........

Oh, the car is a 2005 2L diesel sport with 130 on the clock
Thanks in advance

I have no experience with the diesel motor but if you're blowing a fuse (what's the amp rating, mate?) when applying start power you've got a short in the F22 circuit. You need a wiring diagram for help.

Thanks swingwing,

Can't find a diagram anywhere for my car, the amp rating for the fuse is 60amp, if you are on about what the amp rating is when I start the car I would not know, as I don't know how to do that, sorry for being a bit dim!

Update:

Just been out and bought a Delphi diagnostic kit and it's came up with the codes

P1544 Engine coolant heater B control unit
P0003 Fuel regulator control circuit low (could this be because of the blown F22 fuse?)
C0003 Unknown fault
P3553 Unknown fault
B1100 Unknown fault

Does anyone have any clues please?

Cheers
