High torque starter for Griff

[NicBowman]

Hi, anyone tried one of these?

Just a geared starter. More torque because the output is geared to spin slower. What’s up with your original starter motor?

Hi, nothing probably. Had one hot start incident, so just checking options. I found a way to totally bypass the immobiliser circuit for the starter (most likely culprit) without taking the dash off, in a Griff. If anyone is interested.

Immobiliser is always the first port of call, given the starter circuit contains a TVR error. So starting there. Cost me 3 metres of white/red 25A cable so far!

It’s interesting as the cars grow older they all suffer similar issues.
I did something similar about a couple of years ago. Had the front blocked up and on stands to remove the starter. Tested it on the bench and it was fine, then run a new circuit to check the solenoid and it started the engine lovely.
Then the fuel pump stopped priming soon after.
