   Does anyone have a picture of the location of the starter motor solenoid? Pictures in Haynes manual are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

   It's basically under the inlet manifold - I'll have a quick look to see if I've got a picture showing it - one sec

   Easier to remove the starter motor and get at it that way I'd say.

   Cheers. I'd searched the forum and just got post upon post about starter motors clicking. Which is all well and good, but I wanted a picture. Google images didn't offer much help either.
