   I wish to remove the starter motor on my 1.1 sx to check it out as I am still experiencing starting problems particularly when in cold weather. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to look at it let alone remove it . Any tips?
   I am assuming my starter is at fault cos it bump starts first go but labours on the key!

   Hope you have small hands iirc it's two or three bolts at the back of the box lift the car get under it look between the bulk head and the box you will see it

   Im hoping to do the Furios either Thurs or Fri, got access to a car lift and know where two of the bolts are, is the one from the transmission side do-able from below? or easier from the top with the air box removed? im hoping to get in done in my lunch break so any advise appreciated.

   Remove the air filter from the throttle body, you will be able to access the upper two 13mm bolts, i always find the lower bolt easier from under the car, its just above the driveshaft. Its possible to access it from above as well, just in my experience you'd be better from under the car.
