5 weeks ago starter motor failed, had been on its way out for a while. Also had low oil pressure at the time causing lifter tick.
4 weeks ago Topped up oil, replaced starter motor. Drove about 5 miles then starter failed, oil pump also failed and that area went on fire. Nothing major damaged 1 pipe melted.
2 weeks ago managed to have replaced all relevant parts, oil pump, starter and melted pipe. Engine won't start with key but started with easy start spray. Left it idling for 5 minutes and it died, killing the starter motor again.
Checked for any wires shorting and can't find any, all fuses are okay. Don't want to fit and fry another starter so what can I do now? I believe there was a tsb about this if not a similar issue but I can't find it. I believe the tsb number is 44410 but unsure as I can't find it.
Anyone got any suggestions as it's my daily runner and just want it back on the road now...
