Ida still tried to save it.. Even if it was only for a dodgy rebuild I have never broken a part on any of my vehicles that I have a spare "well its dodgy but it'll get me out of trouble till the new one arrives" part for.

I certainly agree, but if someone is paying me 100+/hr to remove a knackered starter to fit a new or reco one, I'm going to get it off as quick as I can if the 'normal' methods fail

You doing a auto conversion on the D2??? I thought hers was a manual?? And Say hi to the G-Knight from me

totally I was worried it was going to catch fire there was that much smoke coming out of it

Plus I sensed he needed the therapeutic feeling of belting something with a hammer, hence the 'bust it off ' advice
Oh yes I needed to belt something - the missus made comment about the volume and level of language coming from the workshop. I never get angry with an inanimate object but shoddy workmanship by someone unknown and quite possibly I have paid good money for the work, that can fire me up at times and this was one of those times.

all in all it was a very good outcome as the only bit broken was broken anyway
