Racing Green TVR have recently added a high torque starter motor for the TVR Griffith abd Chimaeras to their range of standard and uprated TVR parts. This high torque starter motor is specifically got the Rover V8 engined TVRs and will turn the engine over faster and consume less current in the process through the reduction gear design. This reduction gear design means that as well as being incredibly powerful this starter motor sits lower than normal which in practice means that on a TVR Griffith or Chimaera the motor and solenoid is significantly further away from the exhaust manifolds and further exposed to the airflow under the car. This in turn reduces the well known heat "soak" problems which can lead to hot restart problems with these particular TVRs. In addition the starter motor solenoid draws cooling air every time it is operated further aiding temperature reduction.
