I have a P reg Ford Scorpio 2.3 Automatic. When I start from cold the engine turns over with loads of ooomph and pretty much starts first time every time. But what's weird is that when it's hot more often than not it hardly turns over at all. It's almost like the battery is completely flat - only it isn't. This problem only ever occurs when the engine is hot. If I leave it for an hour it's ok again. I haven't looked at anything yet so I suppose the connections to the starter moter are the first place to start but I'm guessing it's not going to be that so I'm suspecting the starter motor. It's just that I've never had or heard of this problem before. Can anyone shed any light on what the problem might be?
Thanks John
