Hi all, long time no see. I thought I would just let you all know that I have recently had a problem with the starting of my car. What happens is that the car will start straight away with no problems, but, if I then stop the car for 5 mins, and try to start it again, it just doesn't fire, or even sound like it's about to start. You have to wait an hour and let the car cool down in order to start it again! (Most annoying if you stall your car at the front of some temporary lights, on one of the busiest stretches of road in Bristol!!!).<br>Well anyway, I took it to the garage, and after a few minutes testing they were able to tell me that this is the IGNITOR. They seem to think that it is overheating, and the components inside are gradually breaking down.<br>The IGNITOR is the rectangular metal box that sits ontop of the starter coil that mounted to the engine bay. The only problem is that to my horror, the only place I could get the new part from was from TOYOTA direct, for ?235!!!<br>I thought to myself, sod that, Im gonna get one cheaper, and the only place that had one was "good old FENSPORT". They charged me just ?35 for the part and delivery.<br>They informed me that this is a regular thing with this part, and is why they have a number in stock. I'll let you knoe how I get on.<br><br>Chris
