    A couple of times last year I had a problem starting my car straight away after stopping or within say 5-10 mins of stopping, each time it happened was when the engine was hot...dont have any problems at all starting when engine has cooled down or cold. Been told is is more than likely the heat which is causing the starter motor to stick so im looking to remove and get re-conditioned (hopefully with the removal of cats and tubi fitted in feb will reduce the amount of heat anyway)

    firstly has anyone removed their starter motor? Ive got the parts manual and looks like only 2 bolts to remove, is it that simple? can i just remove them and pull the starter motor out? or will i have to remove the exhaust to get access?

    secondly can anyone recommend a good place to take the starter motor to to re-conditon, preferably based in the yorkshire region? maybe strasse?

    any pics would be good also

    Thanks, Dave.

    Does your car still have the bullet connectors between then battery and starter? The reason I ask is because the starter may not be the problem. The symptoms you describe sound exactly like those caused by that connector.
