Starter motor replacement
Discussion
My starter motor is getting temperamental, just getting a 'click' when turning the key rather than firing into life sometimes regardless of being hot or cold. Seemingly it has self healed again as it knew I was about to attack it with the spanners and has fired on the button for the last couple of weeks every time.
Is the std starter replacement just a bolt in/out affair or is there more to it? I know with the higher power version some mods are needed to get it to fit, not sure I can be bothered with the faff of that at the moment until I get my new man cave in a month or two so I either wait or just get a std replacement and swap it out. anybody done it and can give me the lowdown on what is required?

Could it just be a faulty relay?Is the std starter replacement just a bolt in/out affair or is there more to it?

I haven't done the work myself, but a few years back my starter motor stopped working when hot, and was fine when cold.
This led to an embarrassing push start at a petrol station.
TVR Power changed it for their uprated starter motor as used on the larger capacity rebuilds. I am not aware this required any special work.
It works well, and turns over much more quickly than the old starter did. But a new standard starter may have had the same effect.

It's easy enough to do if you have a few basic tools
Disconnect the battery
Remove the airbox
You should be able to see the starter
Simply disconnect the leads
Undo the bolts holding it in place then wiggle it out.
If you upgrade to the larger one you have to drill the plate that holds the 100amp furs and the airbox as the larger starter is a bigger circumference so you need to elongate the holes on the plate. Easy enough to do with a vice drill and file
