Good morning ,

And there you have it! my starter had been showing some signs of weakness for a good month, I found a second-hand one (€40) and I was LUCKY enough to come across your tutorial which I followed step by step. Excellent work on your part. Thank you

I just did it on a Saxo Phase 2 1.5D. The air box only has one inlet/outlet (even easier to remove). I took the starter out from above, because the air box support arm is fixed over the starter (plus I couldn't see how to take it out from below in my case). The two power cables are held together, no way to make a mistake, just in case I put blue electrical tape on the control cable. Screw 1 (the one in the opposite direction) is difficult to access, impossible to remove with a 13 flat wrench or ratchet. I had to take a 13 socket wrench to access it. Bring a flashlight to find the fixing screws, and it took me almost two hours. Technical inspection successfully passed this morning! Thank you very much.

Good morning,

I have just changed the starter motor on my 2000 Saxo 1.5d, which I bought new as a standard exchange.

After the operation the key light flashes and it does not start the battery and starts correctly.

This can prevent anything thanks.
