Luckily had the top off most of the day, but did get stuck in a downpour which certainly cooled me down. So many tvrs never got to see your mates chim but there were some lovely examples present.
My heat shield is definitely missing then. Could be the problem along with the loose connection. Will try sourcing a replacement. May have to use some adhesive protection in the meantime.
Great help with the pics, thanks.

Found the connector to the starter motor was a little loose. Did notice there appears to be no heat shield between the starter motor and the manifold. Is this right? picture taken from underneath the car.
Problem seems to occur when trying to start when engine is hot. Thanks for the suggestions will work my way through them.

Thanks guys. Got my mate out and started with a jump state. Will do some further investigations. Same thing happened last time I drove it a month ago. So fitted a new battery thinking this had resolved it. Is there any sort of hot start problems with these cars?

Car won't start. Ran fine to the shops. Returned to go home and the car won't start. Dash lights on but battery won't turn over! New battery just fitted and left on trickle charge. So not battery.
Alternator is OK too.
Stuck outside band q. Any ideas?
