My golf has started blowing fuses too, only in this case its my passenger-side tail light.  The funny part is that once I change the fuse its fine for a few hours, then it blows!

I can't find any obvious faults and I'm running out of places to look!

Does it go even if you don't have your lights on?  If so its another circuit grounding out through the tail lights.  Get someone to stand behind the car while you test the indicators & brake lights etc, to see if anything is up!
