I tried someone who did the wrap stuff but it seems it's been of took off the shelves because it had asbestos in it and it is a diesel starter anyway :-(

i had this on mine & had to resort to getting jump started on occasion! never really sorted it, just opened the bonnet when warm to let hot air escape. It's a common prob.
