Morning chaps

its been a few days since i have had the rs on the road and now i am having an issue with the car starting After any short or long journey. We had this issue before the new alternator was fitted. We found that the car wouldnt start altogether due to a faulty bulb in the dash clocks!!! got it all sorted and Since we put that on it wouldnt start after i got it back home so had to get it bump started and took it for a long drive. the next day it was fine. I have just nipped down to get some petrol at work and low and behold the car wont start so again had to get it bump started to get back.

I have done some reading here and there and noticed the subject of the starter motor overheating?? possibly something to do with brushes or a solenoid?? I wouldnt be too bothered if it didnt start after a few minutes but last night i had to wait over 20 minutes after having a quick stop to replace a tail light bulb before it eventually got going again. Im dreading going to fill the car up for petrol as i can see it pissing a lot of people off!!!!

the engine has just been fully rebuilt and is on 170 miles of its running in at the moment. going to buy a new starter motor on saturday and see if that helps. If anyone else can shed some light on the matter i would most appreciate it.

thanks all
