Did this two weeks ago only took just over the hour, engine mount plus engine plate will need to be removed, put front of miggy up on ramps undo both bolts from engine mounts put some wood on oil sump and jack engine up just so you can remove the engine mount and i found it better to undo top bolt on starter from top, easy really :y Good luck
Oh don't forget to take leads off from battery!!

Are you sure its the starter ? I have a brand new one sitting here that I bought a few months back when I thought my starter was goosed but in the end it wasnt. Problem just went away on its own.....

£20 is what I paid for the brand new one..... if I was in brum you could have it for that.

Hi Folks,
I have change the motor now. Thanks to every one.
The old one was broken as you can see. I can only guess Dewhurst must be missing one of their staff who worked on this car!!!
