If you bypass the circuit breakers, make sure you insert a fuse(s) in the supply cables as close to the battery as possible. Don't want a short to make the car catch fire now....I'd hate to see a melted 'D'.

Why not upgrade the circuit breakers if the voltage drop is apparent.

I have recently purchased the LockZilla which cured my rapid 
lock/unlock problems. Plus it provides a basis for remote control and 
a platform for door launching, cool! 

As far as the FanZilla is concerned, I purchased the equivalent from 
John Hervey's www.specialtauto.com site. The fan fail 2x2 mod acts in 
a similar way to the FanZilla, but it also has a direct feed from the 
battery which eliminates all voltage drops and bypasses the existing 
circuit breakers. Like the FanZilla it triggers the fan-fail light 
when the circuit is in operation. The only slight reservation would 
be that you must get the power cable to the battery point somehow. 
Apparently on most cars there is a hole between the LHS of the 
fuse/relay compartment and the battery. Mine doesn't, so either I 
will pass another cable to the engine compartment and attach to the 
jump post or I will need to create replacment hole to the battery 
area. At the moment I just snake the cable under the carpet and past 
the unscrewed battery compartment cover.

I am very happy with both modifications, and would recommend both 
providers without reservation. They have answered my numpty questions 
with good humour and a speed often lacking in other commercial 
ventures I have dealt with on the net. 

I have a John Hervey alternator sitting in the cupboard which might 
not even be used (since mine doesn't now seem to be part of my 
problems) but it arrived in the UK <4days after I ordered it!
