well i have been trying to knock this hot start issue on the head with no joys after
cleaning and replacing earth straps and connections to starter
replace bush
new battery
so i decided to fit a hot start relay bus defo starts faster but still need to drive it over a hour to see if finily the issue has gone
i can see the issue i believe with the red and black wire that goes to the solanoid as when i cut it to put a new connecter on the wires are black and oily?
i guess i will replace this wire when i can, but hopefully for now the relay will work,
on the plus side of today i decided to do a oil change and glad i did as my drive shaft bolts where loose and nearly out (has this happened to anyone else)?
hot start issues hopefully gone

Those wires have been subjected to heat from current trying to cross a dirty contact.
