to be honest, you know the answer already dont you :lipsrsealed:
but wasted time composing this thread, editing the picture etc :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed:
when infact you should have been stripping it down replacing the bit you forgot :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed:

Lazy git! Get out there and sort it out! :grin:
-
well yeah, obviously its needed, otherwise it wouldnt have been put on, thing is, i dont have time tonight, only way im going to be able to do it tomorow is if i do it in the dark, monday working 7-6, packing, then off on holiday, get back from holiday, then work once i get back bla bla bla...
what i should have said is, am i going to HAVE to do it tomorow in the dark or will i be ok driving monday then three days once i get back with it off. untill that weekend when ill be able to sort it... or am i liable to have the gears fall off within a few starts?

bring it in the house and do it on the carpet :grin:
-
again, you know the answer deep down, :rolleyes:
no i dont, otherwise i wouldnt have asked... if i went to start it and streight away it didnt work then ide know ide need it, but ive started it about 5 times and not a problem...
however im taking it from your answers it is important, so looks like i will be doing it in the dark tomorow.

I know how you feel when you do something like that mate! Grin and bear it...As said, do it on the kitchen table, just give her in doors enough wine before hand so she won't mind clearing up the mess after :grin:

Well it is fitted for a reason so refit asap.
-

Yes. It looks like a retaining plate/gear carrier.
It's not like this is a bulb, or a piece of trim. It's a vital part of the starter motor.
