Sooo... I was driving home and changed down into second (not especially aggressively) and the "track off" warning came on and the car lost power
On investigation it appears the entire left hand bank of cylinders are now not receiving a spark. I checked the fuses and found a blown 15A fuse in the engine bay fuse box which was for INJ/IGN ODD and congratulating myself that I had solved the problem I changed the fuse. However it has immediately blown, as has another new replacement ( I originally swapped it for one of the other old ones)
So there is obviously an underlying interest issue that is blowing the fuses - Anyone any ideas/suggestions?

The coil packs for each bank are on individual harnesses so you might find starting at the engine end of things is easier, and given that's where most of the vibration / movement is maybe that's what has worn?
A lot of it is quite well taped up, hope you manage to find things quickly.
As a process of elimination, may I suggest unplugging the big white coil pack harness and swapping those over from one side to the other (they're the same both sides)
If you then start blowing the fuse for the other bank at least you know it's the pack harness and one of those is a cheap and easy fix from RockAuto

I suppose there is a chance it could be a coil pack , i assume fuse is blowing with out it needing to be started , if that is the case unplug all the coil packs ignition on and see if any thing blows , plug each coil pack in till it pops , unless it already popped when it was disconnected , which says loom or something else that plugs into it , i don’t know the loom and what ever else plugs into it but it would be a quick way of diagnosing it , unless loom has chafed i would expect component failure rather than loom as it sounds more logical , good luck with it
