It was a very odd one, as the grill element only failed once it warmed up, and would fail even if you didn't power it up, as the heat from the oven cavity was enough to cause it to short. The way I managed it in the end was to disconnect each of the 3 elements (main/fan element, bottom element, grill element) in turn (And using tape on the connectors to avoid them shorting out), power up the oven and warm it up to operating temperature and see if it could get there without tripping.
