Alright for those that are struggling with removing the starter like I was.
The bottom bolt (14mm) came off with a socket no issues
Top right bolt ,this is was more difficult for me
I used a Long ratchet spanner dropped down from the engine bay View attachment 549995
Went under the car,reached up the right side of the starter alined the ratchet and slapped the end with a wad of bluetac so it won’t slip off on ya
Returned to the engine bay and slowly ratchet it out ,with the limited room it’ll take a while

Make sure you’ve removed the battery terminal cable and unclipped the plug on the drivers side
The starter should just drop out with a good wiggle from underneath
Are they both 14mm bolts?
