When I had a new clutch fitted,the garage serviced mine while the box was out.I know the owner of the garage and he reccomended getting it done at the same time as it's a real b1tch to get at with the box in.Start your search around the box at the back/underneath the engine.Good luck.

Cheers for that at least ive got a starting block to work from now. If i dont find it i can just use it as something to push myself off with till i do!

The starter is just below the inlet manifold at the gearbox end of the engine,and is covered up by the inlet manifold support bracket.
2 bolts hold it on which go through the gearbox bellhousing.
Even when you know where it is,its almost impossible to see!! Good luck

Jenga-there's a thread going here about why you shouldn't bump start your car.I'm still waiting on the answer though,so keep checking it.
