Morning

I need to replace the starter motor on my 4.6is.

I have been told this is an easy DIY, but where is the damn thing and whaat is the easiest way to access it?!

Thanks,

Sam

Its on the drivers side under the car. Accesible by taking off the undershield, and a bit awkward to get too. Disconnect the battery first or things could get a bit sparky :D

Thanks, presume it is just a case of unbolt (battery disconnected!) and pull out?

Yes, there are only 2 bolts holding it in, and a couple of wires. Its behind the manifold so a little bit awkward
