starter trouble

[cook1981]

Hi folks im hoping some one can shed some light on my starter trouble, it can be fine for months but when i go a long drive and park up it wont start, when i turn the key i get nothing, ive tried rocking the car to see if the stsrter is sticking, to me it is something to do with the engine bay being hot, if i hang about for about 30 minutes and let the car cool down the car will start, has anyone had this trouble

if u can tap the starter area with a hammer and it starts then its your starter brushes!

I'll give that a try next time but im pretty certain its got some thing to do with the heat in the engine bay,

or could be a poor cable being affected when hot. Run a wire straight from battery to trigger wire on starter see it it starts, then its your wirring. Relay mod might work for you as in guides on this website
