Hot hand brake ???
waveydavey:
It would be a good idea to park on hills and bump start it until you ghave a new engine earth strap on. The starting current is teh bit that will case the damage.
Range Rover Blues:
It's the charging current, lights heater etc that is causing the heating. Try sticking a jump lead from the engine to the chassis or battery to try it out, secure the lead with tie-wraps though eh.

High current running through some resistance equals heat?
