I found ours had corroded so I fitted a 30 amp maxi fuse, but it only seems to run the glow plugs anyway :-k

However, if your fuse keeps blowing then you have a short to ground, possibly a frayed wire or a short circuit glow plug like you said.  You should check the resistenace of all 4 glow plugs and also you can check the fused side of the fuse for a short to earth too, though it may be intermittant.
