Just a thought...check for water in the tail light bulb sockets. I had this
in an old Dodge Dakota. Packed them with grease and never had the problem
again.

The fuse protecting the circuit on the tail lights and dashboard
lights keeps blowing. This has happened 5 times now. When I replace
the fuse it either blows again straightaway or soon after I drive the
car again. The car is a UK spec 2001 1.8 VTEC Sport.

Any clues as to the likely cause ?
