    help please!
    my car will not start any more (vtr), when i turn the key theres just a click noise.
    im sure its the starter motor?
    if so, is there a guide on here on how to take it off and replace it?
    or is there some one can tell me how to do it? thanks

    Check the battery and the starter motor wires, If it has gone then,

    Just remove the wires, (Disconnect battery first), Remove the bolts holding it in, Change for a different one

    Try a mates battery first, my battery seemed ok, but would only click when trying to start. Soon as I changed the battery, it started fine.
