starter motor

[Markh]

It must be that time of year again, went for a blast today, stopped at a mates house for 5 minutes and the bloody would not restart for half an hour. I seem to get through a starter every year, this got me thinking there must be better starters on the market,has anyone tried on of these?

Asks stupid question 'What relay?'

[David Beer]

the relay tvr took out! Hot start problem surely you have seen topics? 400 cured so far. Ok a few not but the relay should be there regardless.

David was hinting at the "missing relay", which i gather TVR removed. It can be replaced by using David's Hot Start kit.

I had the same problem recently - sadly the starter motor is buggered, but as well as a new starter motor, i fitted the hot start kit anyway just to be sure.

Search for the "Universal" brand starter motor if you need one. Excellent job, and half the price of one from a TVR dealer.

I've been having hot start problems, finally cure it today. Two small bolts holding what I believe to be 100A fuse about 10" from starter connection on power cable were loose. Tightened them up and now no problems ...

Before you splash out on a new starter fit the Modwise kit.
