[Mg-t] MGTF starter issue

[Howard Battan]

Thanks. I hope it does not need to go that far, but if it does, I'll check 
with them.

The mechanic that checked the car over when I first got it said that it was 
the most original engine compartment he had ever seen on a TF, so I'd like 
to stay with originals if I can. But I'm not showing it, other than in our 
local shows for fun, so concours is not an issue.

And thanks for the rebuilder's link.

Howard
