E32 735i obc / starter gremlins

1987 e32 735i

Ok have had some weird issues with the obc.First it shut off while at the lights while also tooting the horn... Not cool with another car in front of me.Second time it shuts off, again while at the lights but this time turns the car off.... ?? Someone helped push me on to a medium strip, where I pulled fuses out and got it to start again.Both of these have happened on hot days. Is there something that would cause the obc to reset like this?

Probably not related, however annoying. My starter motor needed to be tapped back to life today. Is this a minor problem or a sign the end is nigh.?

Looking for some advise or similar experiences so I know what to replace or explain to an expert.

Cheers, Adam

Relays.... I don't know a lot about them so if you can find the info that would be great.

I got a bunch of OBC's / modules / relays from E32's if you want to try anything.
