Gave up trying to get the starter off after trying to get a lt the bolts with every spanner and socket I have and then my back giving up again. f**k being old. f**k French cars. f**k fuckety f**k 😡😡😂.
Holy thread revival batman! I'm currently having the same issue trying to get to the starter motor bolts. I'm off to buy a big hammer tomorrow it does anyone have any other suggestions before I beat the fucker into a cube of scrap?
Have a look at what's on the car. These are the ones I bought for my cup pack 182 a few years ago.

I've repaired a few of the usual broken adjusters and I'd say if that ball is off then you're screwed. I had one that was off and couldn't save it without splitting the front of the headlamp off, which you obviously dont want to do on a new unit. Send it back.
I gave up after swapping the gearbox and the c**t wouldn't start. It's not even fully back together but I'm pissed off with it so f**k it😡.
As it sits right now. It's been broke since March.
Yes. But my steering wheel is 280😏. It is thin rimmed and after the standard lump that was what took a bit of getting used to but its spot on really. Its the only aftermarket wheel I've had Mark.
There's no name on the cat. It's a 200 cell sports cat and got through the mot last year, although the tester would have helped if needed😉.
Nice and easy to remove the cat if you want to run a decat between tests. I removed it when I jacked the car up 5 months ago😂.
Of you're having the flange done get the v bands fitted an do away with all the factory crap. That's what I did last year when I bought a new cat and decent flexi.
How the f**k can they make and sell it if it physically doesn't work? 🤯 The inlets cracking was a design error that could have been rectified but their way of dealing with it fucked everyone off. This not working is just pure incompetence and another reason for Tessa to join the blacklist.
Earthed form block to battery with no change. Can't be arsed rolling about under the car today so it can stay broke.
Dash lights. Should the stop and serv lights be on before cranking? It's been that long I can't remember!
Yeah it's not the most accessible thing to be pissing about with. I've not touched the wires on the starter while stripping the car but I'll recheck tomorrow. I'm not a fan of playing with wiring though.
I've checked the earth's 3 times and they are in good condition. Unless I've missed one🤔. Also tried it with the battery off the 1.2 and it's the same. When I can be bothered I'll rig up an earth lead and see if it helps.
Little update, no its not fixed. After finding one of the cv boots wasn't clipped on properly I bought some grease and cleaned it out re greased it and fitted new clips. Drive shafts were then refitted along with the hubs. Gearbox topped with oil and shifter rod fitted I decided to try starting...
