hodge Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's a piece of cake Liam. Disconnect hour battery, Unplug the connector or 2, (can't remember if there's 1 or 2). Undo the nut and remove the power cable, there's 2 or 3 bolts that hold it in and it just slides out. Reverse this to refit. Simples. Need any help giz a buzz.

DodgyRog Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Liam before you change try undoing the main feed nut, on the underside of the starter, easier to get at from underneath and give it a good clean and put it back on tight I had this thread recently and the above sorted it, go to the last post, after reading the first http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?241446-Starting-Issue-on-an-Auto-help-and-advice-needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Removal on a ramp is a 5 minute job, literally, as is refitting. On your back, on the drive can be a PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
