Theres only 2 bolts that hold it in.

Its on the front of the gearbox on the right hand side of the engine bay as you look at it.

Remove the 2 13mm nuts (top one holds main power cable, bottom one holds a bracket).

Then unplug the black plug from the starter (its the signal wire).

Now undo the 2 big bolts that hold the starter on (16mm maybe?).

You have to do the bottom bolt from underneath im afraid.

And to get out the top bolt you have to wiggle the gear linkage around in order for it to clear it, cus the bolts are about 4-5" long.

Probably on the back side on a 1.4.
