Hi,I am having problems starting my avensis,the problem only occurs however when the engine is HOT,I can turn the engine off and if i try to restart it immediately it is fine,however if for example i leave it for 5 mins or so to fuel up it always gives me trouble restarting.

can any one help?

Hi there as above Starter motor is your problem .Dont waste your money and time paying idiots to scratch there heads im no mechanic and scrolled this site for days trying to find my problem.I eventually had a gamble at a starter motor and NOBODY would believe me when i said change it for me when i described the symptoms.

I ordered a brand new delivered for £100 approx and payed a mechanic £20 to come and help me change it.What i got was a starter that sounded instantly different ,it flew the engine over like nothing youve heard.The car fired up and started from hot ever since.

Lets face it whats £120 when we start booking cars in into Mr T .

If it isnt that then at least you have new starter to eliminate at not too much money.
