    Hiya

    Parked up my 1993 16v Coupe (ACE Engine) up indoors 9 years ago and it has not been started in 7+ years. No surprise it won't turn over now. Suspect starter motor gone. Battery fully charged, dash lighting up, getting 12v at solenoid. Cleaned battery earth contacts and inspected relay. Changed ignition barrel around 2 years before parked up so don't think its that. No clicking at starter.

    Any advice on how to swap out starter ? Real difficult to get at.

    Want to get it back on road - rarely see a Coupe round these parts....

    Thanks in advance

    It is not evil to do if it is up in the air. Have you tried giving it a gentle "tap" with a thwacking stick whilst the solenoid has power?

    Crasher - Thanks for response. I’ve tried giving it a good tap.

    It looks like just 2 bolts connecting starter to housing ? But I just can’t seem to get any purchase on the bolts. Access with ratchet socket is near impossible.

    I have it up on axle stands. I’m a little restricted for space but desperate to get car started. Can’t really bump start as public street outside the house.

    Any advice welcome !

    Remember to disconnect the battery when trying to remove the bolts. I don't remember it being a difficult job on a type 89 4 cylinder, I have a type 85 1988 Coupe GT 5 cylinder here at the moment, I did the starter on that a few months ago and it didn't cause me any grief.
