spent yet another day trying to get the fookin starter motor off FFS!
ended up taking the manifold/turbo,exhaust off to get the inside bolt out of the fooker, talk about 1 step forward 3 steps backbroke the ****ing oil return pipe from the turbo! :5bbanghead::5bbanghead::5bbanghead::5bbanghead:
also the last bolt was very! lucky to get it off without having to drill the bastid out from my attempt at getting it off before manifold removal i chewed the head up pretty well
had to drive a 1/2" hex socket onto it to get it off
oh well got to replace the dip stick tube while the manifold was off (have had the replacement for about 7 or 8 years waiting for a chance to fit it) broke it when we did the engine swap :doh:
so whiler i got me machanics head on just as well do a oild change too

Fitted this...
...so i can now see what's happening in the boot!
Might need to rethink the wiring on it though cos the bloody thing doesn't seem to want to fire fully unless the engine is running - thinking volt drop may be too much for it, may try wiring it back to the rear seat light instead of the boot light (shorter cable run!)
