Changed my starter motor!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: 02 December 2010, 16:41 »
Guys

im please to announce i changed my starter motor all on my own! sounds a bit mad but beleive me when i say i know where nothing is under the bonnet! so for me this is the biggest achievement of my car career of my life  :smiley: it took about an hour and a half, that's with going to get the new part. So i went in the poring snow to the albainians to get a full valet! my golf is now gleaming black and the interior has that sweet smell of leather!

Just wanna say thanks to all the guys who gave me advice and links for the info i needed to solve this collosal task!  :grin:

PICS WILL BE COMING SOON!
