The new starter motor arrived and it has done the trick. Crank sand starts perfectly. In saying this my original starter motor was probably ok as it turned out to be timing issue..... would like to thank everyone for the advice.

That is a interesting theory. The original starter did not conk but was lazy. This is obviously down to timing “Thanks for the advise Ray”. Will see what it dose tomorrow when fitted

Richy, sorry to bother you AGAIN..... What is the tube of Polyurethane Adhesive for in the kit?

Replacement starter motor arriving this afternoon, This has been a nightmare this is my 3rd starter motor from this company. Will let you know how it goes.....

Great Info as always Richy. Steve called me from Kit spares saying that my body panels and suspension upgrade are being sent this week..... Time to get busy

Thanks Richy much appreciated.

Hi Richy on kit spares there are two versions ET15 and ET35. Do you know what the difference are? thanks Tony

Well that’s it if Richy says upgrade...... upgrade it is..... thanks Richy

Is the double wishbone suspension upgrade from kit spares worth doing on my 2b?

My car needs a mot next month. I need to replace all the ball joints on the front suspension. anyone know which make and model I need for top and bottom ball joints?

Thanks to everyone for the help on this problem. I had a few issues so was not straightforward. moving the timing to 8 degrees at idle has made starting at proper crank speed. i still have a issue and think the new starter motor is defective. A lot of the time just get a clonk from the starter coil and nothing else. A few try’s and she cranks and fires up as it should. have asked the company to send me a replacement Starter motor.

Set it to 8 degrees at idle

It’s definitely timing. Got her running and restarting sounds a Little lumpy. Going to my brothers later who has timing light. i have noticed there is no vacuum pipe to the distributor? Is this needed thanks to all and to Ray.

Have tried this and no difference..... Gremlins.......

Great advice you guys Will try it this morning.
