Anyone changed a starter motor on a 1997 2 litre(non GDI)v40 , Haynes manual says you have to remove inlet manifold,injector rail,throttle housing,etc etc Got a new starter for £30 but If I have to remove all these items could add up, gaskets,O rings for injectors alone are £29etc..Any ideas before I start and waste loads of money,,,,,

 

This is from VADIS. It seems quite straightforward.

looks straightforward like you say, I will try tommorrow and let you know...
If it does work its the first time haynes has let me down

 

I have found that Haynes is not as good as it used to be. My 850 book has several mistakes in it.

 

tried yesterday,Unfortunately I do have to take manifold,fuel rail etc off to gain access to starter, what a pain..Thanx anyway

 

Reference above entry, had another look,ThenChanged it with no need to take off manifold etc , just a bit fiddly cheers billofdurham

 

Haynes not very good at all anymore, used to trust their books not anymore...
