faulty starts

[richard8466]

got an x reg tus speed 6 4.0. fault developed re. car won't start when engine temp. reaches certain level. have to wait till it cools before it will start again! could be hours, anyone got an idea of the prob.

Does it turn over and not catch or not even turn over?

Chimaera and Griffith owners used to suffer from the starter motor getting too hot and breaking down the windings, when it got hot the windings would seperate and so the starter would not turn, when it cooled down they would touch again and let the car start

If it isn't that, then give us some more info and maybe someone can hazard a guess for you
