Hi guys, can anyone tell me where the starter motor is located on the 3.0 auto, batteries ok but nowt when u turn the key, had a quick look but cant see it so before I start taking bit an pieces off hoping someone can point me in the right area to look ,
Cheers Moz.
 
On a manual it is just below the inlet manifold on the right side of the engine looking from the front, would of thought the auto is the same.
 
Selector was in park, had the AA man round and he moved in an out of park ,no different no joy , an he wasnt sure where it was located,
Just said if I have to take it in to my indie call em out again and they would transport it, great,
Simple job when I find the little bugger,

there it is....

Mind you, here the inlet manifold is missing (and some more stuff....).
Removing the inlet manifold isn't necessary, but you have to remove the inlet filter housing (2 bolts...)

(this is all regarding the pre-facelift)

Most of the time disassembling&cleaning does the job
