problems starting engine when warm

That's great to hear!

I was going to have a new starter motor fitted last weekend, then decided against it seeing as I had no absolute guarantee it'd fix the problem and I've already spent a fortune on the car.

Knowing it has worked for you might just persuade me to change the starter.....although knowing my luck my problem will be something obscure that nobody has ever come across before!

I had a new starter motor fitted yesterday and the problem has vanished!!

Good.
Perhaps this will help convince the cynics.

Go for it Sam!
