Hi Guys I`m having a bit of a wrestle trying to fit the Starter motor and Turbo heat shields to my 5 addmitedly I`ve only had a few mins meddling here and there but can I buggery fathom out how to wangle them into place, any help of the best route/bits to remove would be greatly appreciated as I want to tick them off my list of jobs to do and they are both new so don`t want to bust them.Also does anyone know where the hot air feed pipe bracket bolts to,this hot air feed bracket itself has a flat stainless steel plate bolted to it (from my box of spares so no idea if I need this s/steel part or not) thanks v much in advance for any tips..:)

I find easiest was to get starter out is to undo lower shock mount bolt and remove top one, then u can pull hub down to get driveshaft off gearbox spline, then unbold starter from top and remove from underneath :-)

Re read the actual post! Starter heatsheild bolts onto block I think, although I don't run one

Cheers Markey Yep I can see the mounting points for the heatshield just seems a tight squeeze getting it anywhere near..many thanks for the info regarding removal of starter itself, for if and when I need it removing did cross my mind when I saw where it was fitted..
