Need to change the starter motor and can't find a how to.

Where is it located and is it easy to change for a novice.
Is it a simple, loom disconnect and bolt off, bolt on?

passenger side at the bottom, three bolts 13mm i think top ones a bit awkward use two spanners and you need ring and open end then link the 2 together to give you leverage undo the the power bolt and slide off the spade connector about 20-30min job if the bolts release ok quite simples

And don't forget to disconnect your battery first.

"If the bolts release ok"

So allow 3 hours and have bandages at the ready!

What's the problem I had a starter motor problem a year ago a big hammer fixed it

Couldn't post the vid here but put it on the facebook page. On first start, there's a grinding noise with first key turn, then it turns over, have to pump the throttle till it catches and there's a plume of smoke.
After the grind, the rest is a different issue I believe.
Vid shows what I mean

i aint on face book so either post it on here or let the muppets help u out!

any way grinding noise aint good Daz dont let that happen too muh or ya will be rplacing the starter gear and fly wheel ring gear
