Dead Ignition by Derek Elliott

Ok Guys desperate for some help

We live in the UK so service is limited, we have a 2001 Damon Daybreak Workhorse Chassis P32 8.1 Vortec.

We had a problem starting the engine, the engine would start but not run kept stopping as soon as you released the key, tracked it down to the multi block connector on the ignition switch located on the steering column, we have now installed the service kit W8002060 tha diverts the power away from the switch to stop it over heating, it now starts intermittently, turn the key nothing the new relay operates, the ignition switch is moved by the metal rod, we do hear a clicking form the battery disconnect centre under the hood, try it a few times then it bursts into life and all works turn it on and off a few times it still works, leave it a few minutes and again nothing no dash lights engine wont start, is there anything like a relay in the battery disconnect centre that is part of the ignition circuit, as I have said we do hear a clicking when we turn the key behind the battery discount centre.
