firstly, hi all, this is my first post.

i've had my TD5 for a few months and no trouble until yesterday, the starter motor failed to turn. checked the fuses and the fusible relay is blown. tried another and blown staright away. the starter motor works with the ignition on and connecting the terminals so I'm guessing that the problem doesn't lie with the motor itself but somewhere the wiring is shorting out. anyone else had a similar problem? it's a bit painful having to open the bonnet everytime you want to drive somewhere.
