Hi, I have separate fuses in all other circuits but NOT in the ignition circuit. The red wire from the DG goes straight to the ignition ON terminal of the ignition switch.

I you have no diagram all you can do is take out all the fuses one by one and see what stops working, then make your own diagram of what fuse protects what. There must be a separate fuse for every light bulb etc.!

Got the car running today. It proved that, not only did it have a battery master switch and a key switch , but also an ignition switch! Talk about belt and braces! Anyway, thankyou chaps for all your input.

I have not heard of any problems with the DG systems. I have heard of problems with the similar 123 systems on Lomax cars with there more exposed configuration, and water getting into the unit.
