No No No Not here

So i park the 8 up Thurs evening and go out to playing with Land Rover, Sunday evening 20 mins before i'm going away to work for the week, hop into the 8 (thats been parked in front the house in everyone's way all weekend) to move it into a parking space and NOTHING well when i say nothing it does click down by the OSF wheel. I'm assuming thats where the motor is? I've read though Conan's and post oh how i'm looking forward to that one already.

Are you sure there isn't a button you press somewhere that makes the old starter motor fall onto the tarmac and then just push the new (second hand) motor under the bonnet into the engine bay and it finds it's own way into place?

The Landy has a starting handle behind the seats for this very eventuality but I can’t seem to find it in the 8, but to be fair I don’t have a full tool kit.

Ian do you have a starter motor you’ve been trying to get rid of for so long you just want someone to take away?

Mike do you want to pop round and swap the motors over? I can stand there and pass you useless tools under the car, Oh and I cook an awesome breakfast Hogs Pudding the lot.
