cheers rubjonny, mine is a manual and when i was searching ebay and the likes all of the starter motors listed were different to he one i removed, they all had what i can only explain as a locating bar on the end of the shaft, which is what i fitted and have had no trouble with since? could it be that someone has replaced it with this one as a short term option? maybe just to sell the car??
