Another Non Starter
Discussion
At the risk of repeating previous messages, can anyone advise as to to the cause of a severely embarrassing non-start problem I have developed in my 96 5.0L Chimaera?
Whenever engine is remotely hot (temp guage never seems to get above 90 deg - can this be right?)the b*****d thing won't start for anything up to 20 minutes
. Thus even mundane tasks like filling up with petrol become a major logistical issue.
Any pointers grateully received!
p.s. Apart from this it runs like a dream - can't get enough of that engine burble...

Apologies for delay - been away (I'm a poet & didn't knowit!).
Not having major problems with the fans Turbo100, they are never running while I try to start the engine (Is this in itself part of the problem??).
Heard that there may be a problem with the immobiliser not deactivating correctly - anyone know anything about that?
Leaning toward starter motor problem, but will see what Team Central reckon.
(Bet you get a lot of curious glances from Aussie motorists Turbo100 - can't be many TVR's in your neck of the woods!)
