I was just going to replace the thermostat housing on my V6 auto'. Switched the ignition on and confronted with a constant yellow engine warning light and a flashing red light, on turning over the starter motor made a heavy grinding noise which I assume is where it is failing to engage properly. As I don't have the kit to identify the fault got the RAC out who confirmed the starter was indeed the fault and required replacing. I could use some advice as regards taking the unit off the car. Looking at the situ' I am thinking I could take the battery and box out disconnect/remove the throttle unit which would then give me access to the starter motor looks and sounds good, any advice would be much appreciated.
cheers.
