Starter Motor

[robertsc]

Hi Guys,

For a while now I have been having hot start issues. Very slow to turn over but it does always start.

Had a local garage go though the wiring. Replaced a wire going to a 100amp fuse. Something to do with the alternator.

Problem is still there. Everything else checks out ok. Surly it has to be the starter motor.

Can anyone recommend a good starter for a 98 4.0 Chim? Apparently the engine might be 96.

I'm thinking I need a bigger starter with lots of heat protection.

Any help appreciated for this TVR Novice.

Battery is approx. 6 months old.

Relay?????

Commonly known as "Hot Start Kit"

basically a relay wired in circuit so the ignition switch only operates a relay which in turn operates the starter solenoid. By-passes any dodgey connections/wiring/resistance in ign. switch etc. so solenoid gets its full dollop of 12 volts.

Ah yes, already fitted this.

All done but still having issues.

I'm going for a new starter.

Any Suggestions?

Powerlite seem to do a good one. Upgraded power output. Spin faster and sits lower so further away from the exhaust. Will also get a heat shield for it.

Quite expensive though compared to others. Is it a case of 'you get what you pay for'?

Will def post results.

I have had a new battery fitted as well. Correct one.

I have also had a jump pack connect straight onto starter while in place and did not improve crank.

I think I have covered everything.

Surly it has to be the starter!!!

I appreciate your advice though
