Start pulling fuses to see what circuit is affected. I would think if you have a circuit to ground it would blow a fuse first.

Not quite sure what you mean but weird electrical problems are often caused by dodgy earths. Check/clean the earthing connectors before doing anything else.

When I put a multi meter - to the battery earth and the + to the body it shows 12v and if I remove the earthing points of the turret it sparks

Start pulling fuses then to see which circuit is causing the power to ground. I would check your cables from the battery to altenator and starter too, as one of these may have chaffed. Is the car running?

May sound like a silly question, but is the battery on correctly?
