| Ok, there seems to general agreement that the starter has
| to come out, and I've received enough clues to give me a
| pretty fair idea of how to go about it.

With a few hints on how to get the starter out, and another
trip to the tool-shop, I finally got the blasted things out.
This job is probably a lot easier on a LHD vehicle. With the
stearing stuff filling the already very limited space it was
a bit tricky.

Still, got the starter out and took it to a local Lucas shop
for testing and possibly rebuild. The diagnosed that it was
completely kaput, pulling 4-500 amps on idle...

They offered a new one for only £500 dollars. Being rather
low on funds I ordered a rebuilt one from Classic Spares in
the UK for roughly half the price (www.jagweb.com/classicspares).
Just hope the rebuild is good.

Fittingly enough the temperature has now gone down here and
the dreaded flu has struck me over...

Will report again when I've got a bit further.
