just a quick update..

The correct starter motor for a yr 2000, V plate, 2l petrol manual gear boxed bora is the

02m 911 023 L or 02m 911 023 LX ( the x referring to an exchange unit )

The part number 02m 911 023 F is for the diesel version!!!

I found this out by physically going to the VW dealership and talking to the parts manager direct, who was in fact a very nice helpful chap.
