The handiest way to do it is using ramps, and then remove it from underneath. Disconnect the battery first very important.

cheers mo il get the ramps bak of the brother inlaw

starting motors can be one of the most akward things to remove...but you will get there dee.

thats a peace of piss after wot i went threw with the alternator. that is in a dumb arse place.

i cant complain really as i bought 3 years ago for £ 150 its only failed the mot once with a cracked windscreen.its a y plate so i got a bargain.

dont know what a y plate is but for that kind of money you cant go wrong.

so did the starter go? thats what you are trying to replace right? can you have it tested? and is the selonid or however you spell it able to be removed?

soz homesick just got round to it cleaned the all the connections and so far shes running as normal, got the new starter all ready to go if it goes again.
