Thanks - pretty sure its not as it fires within half a second - just very lazy turnover as opposed to fast - it never takes more than a crank or two.
It is popping on the overun though - which i like
However it will be going on the Dyno at its 110,000 mile service next month

I know this may not  be your problem, but I had some problems with my starter and I started thinking it was either the battery or the ground straps..  Eventually, I narrowed my problem to timing issues.

I realise this is incredibly lazy but im going to ask anyway

My starter is turning real slow and the battery is good so its either a dieing starter or poor earth. Its started happening in about the last 3 weeks.

So the question is

Where should the earth straps be in the engine bay on a 8v?

I would look now but a) its dark outside b) the missus is about 10 miles away in the car and c) i cant find my Bentley since i moved house last month
