Same problem here with my starter...
Thought I'd fixed it but its gone a bit backwards this week

Have been considering this one (2kw) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TVR-CHIMAERA-GRIFFITH-RE...

I only fitted yesterday one of these from Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TVR-CHIMAERA-GRIFFITH-RE... its a 2kw starter and is clearly a faster turn over than my original one (possibly the original TVR fitted item) I shopped around and this one seemed good value, works a treat so far.

Yes. Wow wee ! What a quiet fast spinner this 2kw is. Job done. Thanks for putting me in touch with London & Essex Auto Electrics ltd. I recon car will do 5mph in 1st on starter alone.
