Well mine is just about finished you will need long shaft Torx key 45 set £7. magnetic pick up tool (maplins)£3 pounds 10mm tube spanner or pipe 5" long to lever Torx spanner
REMOVE THE BATTERY TERMINAL FIRST
Jack up and put two stands firmly in place and leave the jack up on the side you are on as as a third point of support
remove the wire from the starter motor 10mm and 13mm
The starter motor is rear lower of engine it is held by two bolts one from rear which is removed from under the car and one from front top behind an oblong rubber grommet a difficult one to locate torx 45 again. use a mirror and torch to see it and dont drop it into the flywheel or its a gearbox removal, use a magnetic pick up tool to extract it once the motor is released from the bolt , bottom bolt is first out first back in.
Dont try and pull the bolt out on the Torx key you will loose it. use a tube spanner on the Torx key to get leverage to undo the bolts, they aren't very tight and finger tight once free. To remove the starter motor you will need a torx socket to undo the earth cable rear of the starter motor to allow it to slide out.
Top bolt is difficult but it will come out in time a 2nd torx 45 would be helpful with the end cut off i.e. a straight shaft for finger tight bit. i am about to try to put the top bolt back but with the risk of it falling into the fly wheel i might buy a long bolt and a big washer and bolt it bach from outside the grommet hole locating the hole with a bolt on the end of a torx key will have a 70% chance of falling into the flywheel while you decide it will start with a singlebolt
to get more room for the top bolt forget the mug who said remove the exhaust manifold he's having a laugh, definitely not, just remove the fuel filter Two wiring connectors and roll the water tank forward also i suggest a degrease in that area the day before you do it
to refit do the under side first. Solenoid is away from the engine a bit tighten the under bolt reconnect the earth then lower the car off the stands. Good luck
