Well at least the TR6 got us home from Morgan Hill ... Simple job, 
replace leaking valve cover gasket ... no problem ... Turned key to 
start and check for leaks ... CLICK ... OK, I had been working on the 
lights too, replaced the Lucas bulbs with halogen (so we could 
actually see the road), so maybe the battery is down ... charged the 
battery ... CLICK ... Of to NAPA for new battery ... CLICK (BTW when 
the CLICK happens Ammeter pegs discharge) ... So somehow the started 
is hung up ... pushed the 6 down the driveway ... starts no problem, 
drive back to the garage, shut down ... try again CLICK !!   Bad 
Starter ??????  It has one of the high torque starters (it came with 
it, I did not install it)  any Trouble shooting tips ???

Just to make things so VERY special, when I closed the door ... it 
will not latch ... I have done nothing to the damn door ... did not 
jack it up, put strain on it in any way, just refuses to latch.

Want to buy a TR6 cheap ... no ... just joking.


Any help kindly appreciated my Friends ...
