Well, I swapped out the starter relay on the HSD following the arrival of a new replacement from British Parts Northwest…and the TR8 still won’t start.  I figured the starter wasn’t getting any electricity as it didn’t make any sound or motion when the key was turned and thereby assumed I’d start with the relay.  HOWEVER, according to a couple of other WedgeHeads in our club (as distinguished from Cheese Heads), it may very well be the starter’s failed, gone kaput, rang down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.

Sigh…Methinks I’d better order a replacement gear reduction starter from the Wedge Shop this week and start looking for a floor jack. The intent remains to get the car ready for April’s events, including the start of the BSCC autocross season, but the project will have to wait until I get back in town.

Stay tuned.
