Yesterday morning was a particularly cold one here in Brisbane, and I was having the normal cold start issues(long cranking time), well it didn't start at all, the excessive crank must have heated the points on the starter and then the rubber point covers caught on fire, I was lucky enough to have an extinguisher in the boot, put out the flames and took the wife's Toyota to work...after I git home from work I looked to see what was going on under the bonnet....the rubber point covers on the starter had all melted...tried turning it over, it would crank but wouldn't start. So I'm leaving it for the weekend to get underneath and clean things up....
Q. Am i in need of a new starter?
Q. Is this just related to the radiator temp/timing sensor thing?
Q. Could my timing be out?
As always I appreciate the time and knowledge you guys give up to help
