I think my starter motor is on its last legs.
It cranks the engine (4.3ltr) over fine on a cold start, but once the engine hot it really struggles.
I see Power Performance sells a heavy duty starter, but I've also seen high torque starter motors advertised at other TVR retailers.
Can anyone offer advice on which one to purchase, either High Torque or a Heavy duty unit.....

Edited.
Has anyone fitted one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273820088472 advertised as 2.0kw unit.

I used Powers when I got my engine rebuilt. Works fine.

My starter got very lazy on hot start. I replaced with a Powers Performance heavy duty one, designed for the higher displacement rebuilds apparently. Never struggled again after that.
