Stalled in traffic last night - went to start the car and the starter was just grinding. The AA recovered me and it is now at APM.
Thanks to the black cerbera for revving his engine and getting in the way of the guys trying to push my car - very clever, not! I am happy to present you with a tw*t of the year award if you are available.
Now going to try out my £50 AA warranty. Will be handy if they will pay for this.

thanks Graham.
Not sure that you can still get cover for TVRs from the AA. But worth a punt at only £52pa.

Sorted, just phoned AA, they told me TVR no problem, covered till my renewal next august for £39, you can't grumble at that!! With the AA being who they are they are going to have to behave with claims for existing members otherwise theres always RAC, Green Flag etc. I would say give it a go for £52 even just for the odd starter/electrical/clutch problems
Gary - sorry to hear about the breakdown, but good news that the AA are looking like they will pick up the tab!
I'd just like to say that the black cerb tw@t was not me. Unfortunately, mine is currently laid up at Topcats waiting for the engine to be removed
plus I would have got out and helped to push!

With all these starter motors going bust, I would rather like to see one. Anyone got any old starter motors they wouldn't mind letting me have?
it is a shame this did not come up earlier this year had three in as many months . i was told at the time it was a bad batch of starters . i need to check but the last one was fitted with heat wrap around to stop it over heating .

you don't throw them away, the old units go for reconditioning, you can't get a new cerbera starter any more, I use a specialist outfit darn sarf and have only had one bad starter from them in all the time I've been using them - even main dealers ask me where I get them from! The one bad starter was changed within 2 working days and back on the car, can't fault service like that really, owner was chuffed to bits 
the wire between the solonoid and maotor unit had burnt out so possibly not even the reconditioners fault either seeing as it comes part of the bought-in motor unit ..

So this rather begs the question of what the factory are putting on the new cars. Are they just running down the stock as they wind-down production of the cerb (hope not) or have the specs of the starter changed over the years?
