I'm continuing to have difficulties with my TR3! I had my starter rebuilt because it wouldn't engage but it only worked for a few days. The same loud rachety metallic kind of sound as when I took it in the first time. I tried all suggestions by you guys and the mechanic but ended up taking the starter out again (cold dark remote garage) and took it back to the shop. They took it to the rebuilder who said it was fine. I put it back in the car (cold dark garage) and tried to start it. This time all I get is a klunk when I hit the starter button and now the remote solenoid under the hood no longer will activate the starter. I pulled the battery but it was still charged and the lights were nice and bright. Is it the solenoid? How do I know? Other thoughts?
