Depending on budget, ring AM cars (in Ilminster) and ask for Adam. Explain the hot start problem and see if he's got any ideas (can start eliminating things first before you start spending!). He knows how to charge but then it depends how desperately you want to be able to drive it and to be reliable.

Seriously, Dont be in a hurry

Although married life is, mostly, great and your first child is something special, it's a good thing to be able to get away from it all for an hour or so and have a little you time.

Just get on with it and be thankful you have some money to spend on it. Since mine went off the road it's only been slow sorting bits I had lying around already or my Christmas pressie
