Anyone know good auto electrician for Plus 2s in South East

Hello,

Can anyone recommend someone good for looking at the electrics of a 1969 Plus 2 in South London / Kent / Surrey / Sussex? (Westerham to be precise which is in between J5 and 6 of M25)

It had been starting problems for a while, I had to jump start it and it was pulling down so much current it was making the jump leads hot and then melted the battery isolator switch - we changed the battery isolate switch and it did the same. A mechanic friend of mine thought it was either the starter motor or the electrics - he says a starter motor on the way out can pull down a lot of current).

If anyone knows an electrician experienced on Plus 2s (or knows much about this themselves) it would be very much appreciated

Thank you

Bet it’s a ground, motor to the chassis chassis to the back, chassis to the battery, such a big deal on these cars, Gordon
