hi all
hoping you can all help me out
95 disco - turning ignition causing engine to turn over which fails to stop when key removed - instant battery drain (after approx 20 seconds) of engine continually turning over - and upon opening bonnet a small glow of fire on bottom right hand side of engine
I'm obviously new to this mechanical stuff and discos but a mate tells me it is most likely the stater solenoid sticking which causes instant drain and gets that hot that it combusts
if he is right (which I have no reason to doubt) should I just go down the road of new starter motor or is there anything else i should investigate before purchasing
apologises as it is my first post but I only bought it 3 weeks ago and haven't had time to signup before but NOW I have a real need
