I’m getting sick and tired of spending £519 (fender I’m looking at you), and having endless issues, 3 out of 4 weeks without the instrument, add in petrol for all the trips back and fourth, a set up etc, I should have just saved up a little and bought an American made one.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youI reckon at this particular moment with a grand to spend, I'd go for either a Jazzmaster, another Strat or maybe a super Strat of some kind, like a Charvel or something.
With a £1,000 budget I’m more likely to make something. I’d spend about £500 buying the parts and pickups to make a headless guitar. Hipshot tuner/bridge and headpiece (hideously expensive, with import duty on top). Some of @TheGuitarWeasel’s pickups (good value). Decent pots, switch and jack socket. Then I’d think about dropping some money on a veneer for the top, and some more on StewMac’s binding channel cutter.

Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
All my guitars would fetch 1k or more if i sold them, and i couldn't play anything of a lower grade as it is.
There are times I think the ones I have arnt good enough, but I've been spoiled.
