Having a spare fuel relay is worthwhile for these cars:~
You may never need it but it is advised, see forum details on how to bypass terminals on these as an emergency: again worth making up the jump wire and storing with the spares to be carried.
I had a very similar problem some time back with the fuse, as you have done make sure that the contacts are clean and keep checking from time to time.
Contact cleaning & turning the fuse also helps (changing the fuse in your case may help)
One point on the fuse location into the holders is that they can be easily dislodged so that the ends do not seat into the holes on the spring contact points- make sure these give a firm grip on the fuse... if loose you may see heat marks building etc.
The plastic fuse holders are available on line and useful if you have sausage fingers- leave in the fuse box for next time- I did a write up on this so will be available on the forum if required.
Good luck... Bob.
