aint it to the right of the exhaust manifold underneath? sorry not 100% sure, but im sure someone will know!

Haynes Manual tells me to take the battery out and and then just goes into detail on how to take it out but does say where it is

Looking at the engine bay, its the little black cylinder on the gearbox side just behind the airfilter, to the right of the manifold, i think...

 

[Colin_S]

Think ive found it, mine is stuck, is there anyway to unstick it without removing it?

 

[Dust]

Bash it with a hammer!!!!! works everytime!!!

 

[Colin_S]

That what i thought. Is this the starter motor in the middle of the picture.

in that pic you cant see a single bit of the starter.

Its over to the right of the pic and down behind the box.

 

[Dust]

Yeh cant see it! too many pipes and things...

 

[Colin_S]

Ive changed the picture, can you see it in this one?

 

[Colin_S]

Sorted, just bump started it and it disengaged.

If you need a new one, I have a mint one from a 16v with 48k on the clock. If youre interested, tell me how much they are new and ill do you a bargain.
