You'll need the codes really.

Yeah, check wiring loom behind starter motor. Very common for it to chaff through on the edge at the rear of the starter moter. The bit of the loom with silver insulation.

Also check the loom under coolant expansion tank. Also a common area where the body panels meet there is a lip where the loom chaffs through.

There are a couple other things but check these first. Fault codes would help alot.
