Im on my 2nd rad in a month after holing it on P&P days. are there any tips or am i just unlucky :doh:

Both times it looks like stones have bounced off the fan

Also. it turns over fairly slowly to start then after a few seconds spins fast and fires up no matter hot or cold

brand new battery, do you recon could be starter on its way out

never had a problem with my rad.

As for turning over slow and then speeding up, TD5 starter often play up. It shouldn't be long before you get the tell tale clunk of the fooked terminals.:doh:
