Hi all
On camping holiday at the moment and had the starter motor give up on me.
Found that the wire joining the solenoid to motor perished so purchased a new one from Heritage (plan to fix the wire on the old one once I get home).
Have just fitted it - turned the key and the starter spins but not engaging with the flywheel.
I turned off the ignition and it kept spinning so disconnected the battery - and now whenever I connect the battery the starter begins spinning without the key in the ignition (see video link)

It has a relay fitted from the ignition but looks corroded - I had a new barrel fitted recently for the ignition (not sure if it’s a new switch)
I’m planning on getting a new relay and ignition switch sent over to me to replace those bits to rule them out.
But any help or pointing in the right direction would be really appreciated.
Thanks
