Hi Folks,
Have recently 'inherited' a Ducato 2006 van. First time out, the starter motor packed up. This was because the starter motor kept running once the key had been turned. By all accounts from the previous owner, the key has to be turned to AVV and then back one notch to MAR. If that isn't done, the starter motor keeps running and burns out. Confused the AA man and local mechanic who helped with the repair! Question- is a manual click back to MAR normal? In all other vehicles I've driven, it happens automatically.
Thanks for any info anyone can offer.
