Trust me it's the starter relay, what you described with the headlights fit starter relay to a T, I'll double check the location in Bentley when I get home

Much thanks, I'm definitely hoping it's just that.

I'll hit up the google and the archives in the meanwhile

After tearing everything apart again to see if the motor was seized or not (about a week or so back), decided to give it a go today and the car fired right up?

Alternator readings good, no burning smell & drove fine.

Also forgot that I posted about a similar issue prior to the alternator install last year:

Feels like I'm playing Russian Roulette, lol.
