first, stop putting big fuses in it.
second, if this fault occurs when starting, there is a good chance that the engine earth is breaking down, causing the current to find a different way back to the battery. the earth strap is on the end of the gearbox, and visible under the left arch.
Give it a wiggle. you should be able to see if it is shot.

If it is ok, then just inspect the wiring and look for a fault in the engine bay.

If you still are having trouble, ask around for a good auto electrician
