Starter motor getting to hot as so close to turbo?? Basically - battery has been re-located to the boot so as things get hot you need more amps to get the same voltage. The solution is to run a second cable from the battery to the starter motor - so I'm told. Harry had the same problem on his car, and this was the solution they used.

Not as yet no, I may go for the Platinum this time as it means I have to change the copper ones which are in it now every 10k which I have done already since fitting the plugs copper ones are good but not if you do lots of miles. Will have to have a read up and find out what heat range platinum plugs I need, platinum plugs that I changed at 35k they have a very fine point to them.
