I went looking for the starter motor but didn't find an obvious item.Apparently Bosch ones are fine but Valeo made the suspect units.
Does anyone know where it sits? I did look at pictures I have of under the car & I'm guessing that is it by the gearbox , so a grovel underneath is called for.

I did also find the alternator and another pump / compressor see pics. As I don't have AC is it the water or oil pump?
