Hi All,
I had rather an exciting afternoon today, I turned the ignition switch off
but the starter motor remained engaged and kept the engine turning.
As I was away from home and had to get back I decided to drive even though
the starter motor was engaged, on my way back I tried switching off again
to find that the starter motor had released itself, but once inside my
garage when I turned off it was engaged again, and when I left the switch
off clouds of smoke started coming from under the bonnet, reaching first for
the fire extinguisher, I was able to disconnect the battery before
everything burst into flames.
The good news is that I phoned Milner from whence the starter motor came and
discovered it was still under guarantee, another one is arriving in the
morning and when I call them back to say the dodgy one has been removed they
will send a courier to pick it up, there's service for you.
Shame though, that tomorrow I was going to
http://www.westmid4x4.com/sliders.htm to get a set of their sliders, oh well
another day
