I have had a look and I can see the starter motor however I can not see the bolts that I need to undo to get the old one off, even if I manage to get them off I cant see them to get the new ones on. I was wondering if there was a specific technique to this or if something needed removing first? please help as the cars a non starter!
all the best
Oliver

Thanks for the reply but you are obviously completely incompetent at reading too. I have the skills to change the starter motor however I have problems getting 2 of the bolts off. I can’t even see 2 of the bolts that I need to undo to remove the old starter motor they are facing upwards toward the engine, covered from the top and inaccessible from the bottom so I was looking for the help of a mechanic (preferably ford or someone who has worked on a ford fiesta before) to give me some kind of decent advice unlike yourself who obviously has never worked on this kind of car before!
