Don.....I have had my starter on and off my van a dozen times in the past year so I should know were the damn thing is. As you stand and look into the engine bay the starter lies to the right of centre behind the tinware. If you pull the tin towards you an inch or so you will see the motor in behind. To take it off there are two nuts, the upper one,(15mm I think) is located inside the engine bay and the other is beside the motor so you have to get underneath for that. Remember to undo the negative cable from the battery before you start any work on the starter motor. Good luck Martin Laycock 82 Camper Glasgow Scotland |
