Hi folks,

Long story short my starter motor is buggered. Had to bump start it to get it home.

Gonna have to walk to the scrappy at 9am tomorrow to get a new one - Just wondering how easy they are to remove/refit and if anyone has any tips that will help?

Apparently it's easier going from underneath but it can be done if you tackle it from the passenger side and peer down behind the battery.

Pictures would be muchos appreciated.

Cheers.

When I get the new one tomorrow I'll stick some detailed guides up on the forum.

Are you sure its the starter motor?

Which engine?

Cheers

Yeah, Father-in-law is a time served motor mechanic, he agrees.

It's the 1.2 16v

Cheers.

Yep, it's definitely the starter..

Got a new one this morning, but can I hell get the old one off.

:bang:

did you manage to do this succesfully from above rather than jacking? any tips , photos, help?

and was it the solution to your problem

cheers
