try holding the can with strap wrench or similar then use a longer bar or extending rachet. remember when replacing only needs to be 15nm. hope this helps.

Just as an aside got a stater from steve near heathrow. what a great guy he was going away for weekend and said he would leave starter and trust that i would put payment in letterbox. Not many people like him anymore.

Not sure if leads are getting warm another thing to check thanks. not sure if it is starter as it turns over quicker now with charged battery. wouldnt do a thing with starter pack though but i suspect that was because starter has stuck. Long time since i encountered that last time was with my ford 123e anglia !!

yes it is same car with slow starter but now Im not sure whether lies with battery starter or charge rate. Roll on the weekend and hope swmbo doesnt breakdown again in the meantime.
