Starter Motor ?
« on: 14 July 2009, 15:31 »
My Starter motor is f**cked. I Have the replacement in the boot.

Are they hard to fit ? because i have a couple hours spare !!

Is there and tricky bits, or is it a case of just swapping them over ?

Thanks in advance

They look a pack of piss to replace, its easly accessible.

Haynes rate it 3 spanners - reading it it dosn't seam too hard either.

i just had a go, but i havent got the right tools lol i got some crappy tool set from halfords.
And i need a ratchet to do the job, a 16mm. but it wont go on because of the piece that the nut screws onto is to long.
need to find some more tools lol
