Fraid from the description I don't know what it is.
However it will be electrical, possibly a relay going faulty or worse a wire "arcing" to an earthy bit of metal on the engine.
I would certainly get someone with a bit of knowledge to have a look as electrical problems have been known to start fires
Anyone know anyone in the Devon area that could take a peek ?

If it were a dweezil I'd say your pre-glow relay is on the frizz ...but it aint, so it isn't.
