450se suspension and starter issues

[wedged]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can suggest a place in oxfordshire preferably close to abingdon-didcot area that can look at my tvr suspension.


also sometimes the starter is very slow to turn over then engine when hot to the point that i've left the car on the drive and it wont start and i have to leave it for several hours before i can restart it.


is this new starter job or can something be done to it, or is it something not starter related

Hi Mate..What is the condition of your battery?..Check or have checked the amps of the battery before the car is started and when its running to see if the alternator is charging correctly..If its making a loud grinding noise then thats a different issue all together..Ziga

Thanks for the reply’s and sorry for my slow reply.


Firstly I just wanted to brag that it passed the mot!!!

I had seen the sr8six website and originally discounted it as a garage for new tvrs as there wasn't much info on the site about older cars, Has anyone used them for for wedge suspension upgrades? if so were they any good and what should I expect to pay?

As for the starting.

It looks like it’s the battery, it drops to 5V across the terminals when starting

I had discounted this originally as the battery isn’t that old, maybe 2 years, unfortunately I can’t find the receipt.
