I give up, I cant find the specific article I was looking for but I do know that HIDs for headlights are illegal without auto levelling.........whatever that is.

And its pretty hard to hide the fact you have them so I dont think its a good idea.
Driving lights............go for it.

Is it to get bigger tyres underneath or other reason?

Actually another possibility is that its a problem with the starter motor......... sometimes the contacts get stuck inside and a lightish hammer tap is all thats neeeded to fix the prob.........hwoever if this is the prob then its a warning that you prolly need to get a new one.

Depends on how the immobiliser was wired in............ normally though it would be done in such a way as to prevent you from roll starting the car........lol..........but as its a rhino it may well have been a home job by someone who doesnt know any better.

If its getting that hot then the fuse your using is way to big.

The wire thats getting hot is the one that needs tracing............its very likely tio be very close to the problem unless the cable is way to small to handle the current thats being drawn through it.

Sounds like ur getting close.
