Local (Perth) help required
I've got the old starter bolt rusted issue.
I also have the problem of being tool-less and clueless when it come to sh*t like this. Managed to change over my rear flashers but that's as far as it goes lol!!!
Is anyone local enough to me that would be able to assist (fix) for me?????
Many thanks in advance

Re: Local (Perth) help required
Which bolts are you on about. The 2 that hold the unit to the engine block or the long thin ones that bolt the starter motor together??
Re: Local (Perth) help required
Normal socket set and basic tools should be sufficient to remove starter motor. Cheap secondhand (ebay) Hornet, blade, blackbird starters from between late 90's and early '00s should bolt in and cost only £20-£25 or so (prepare for a fright if you see what they cost new). Remember to keep the connection under the rubber hood greased up to keep winter crud out.

Re: Local (Perth) help required
Think I might just opt for replacing the starter, Sounds far easier
Cheers folks.
