    Starter Motor help

    I have confirmed with nick hill that my starter motor is on it way out and only works when the starter motor is cool. I can get hold of a new starter motor for about £45.00 exchange from GSF and wondered where it is located in the williams and how easy is it to change yourself.

    regards

    James

    i just done my valver one a few weeks back. its under the manifold.

    took me all day to do cos i had no idea what to do apart from a few guiding phone calls from lunner lol. its no way an easy job IMO but its certainly do able. gettin all the bits back in was the hardest part i think

    willy starter motor

    Whats the difference between the 16V starter motor compared to the willy's starter motor and are they mounted differently as seems like there is a conflict to how easy a job it is to fit a new one. anyone?
