My miggy is pretty good. However, when it goes wrong it often seems to be something unusual. Apparently no one has had to have a starter replaced? 9hrs and no replies. OK, that failure was due to flooding. And yes, my crank sensor went once. But still, am I really the only one? :-/
Not looking forward to paying a shop to do this one. :'(

It has been almost a month. Seems to be getting worse, but can't be sure. Sometimes it goes on about the 5th turn of the key. Lately, it seems to take 15-20 turns of the key. Too much worse and I'll end up stuck somewhere. >:(

Do Omegas have starters....... ;D

That's where I run into problems. Apparently you have to remove a motor mount to get it out? I don't have several days to run around getting parts and tools to do this with, including an engine hoist or one of those cross-bar things (I made my last one of those from decking - worked great!).

Jack and a block of wood under the sump....

That is, of course, if you have to remove an engine mount.
On the 2.0, it's a peice of cake.

Good point. :y Still need to get a jack and jackstands though. >:(
You wanna quote me?

Apart from friends I've already agreed to help, I'm soon very unlikely to be doing any more work on cars (apart from my own).
That said, as it's you - if you cover travel costs, I'll happily come over and give you a hand, for no more than a few beers.
Only question is, when... I have so much on...

Never really looked where it is on a V6. Easy enough to get to on a tractor - I've changed mine a few times ;)

IIRC, it's on the opposite side, on the V6...

Thanks for the offer, but like you said time is the problem. Guess I'll book it into the shop. That is going to cost a mint I'm sure.

Drivers side, rather low down and quite far back. All done from underneath. There is one on E-bay for sale at the moment i think ;)
