Disconnect the battery
Remove the bracket on the side of the inlet manifold
Remove both wires, ones a plug and the other is held by a 10 or 12mm nut.
Get a 14mm spanner preferably a rachet spanner
Remove the 2 bolts holding it to the gearbox
Remove the cylinder on the side of the starter, this is the solenoid. Its held by 2 long thin bolts. Be careful with the clip but chances are it will spring out.
Clean up the solenoid, refit and enjoy a new starter motor.

Probably looking at 1-2 hours to do it

or get one for an S13 like others have done which are lighter!

Still hurts when you drop them on your feet though lol.

All the time I've been in France I've never seen a single S-chassis car so can only imagine getting parts is near on impossible.

Ok,

With your advices, remove the starter was easy, thanks!

I saw some new/reconditioned starter, in France, but:

-they have a "cover" on gear area: http://www.altdiscount.com/affichear...mmat=0&moteur=

According too me this fit: http://www.altdiscount.com/affichear...mmat=0&moteur=

Can a 1 kilowatt model fit on mine? What is the cover on th e gear, like a cap?

Ok, some news...

It seems it isn't the starter, test mine and an another.
I tested many relays (specialy gray relay near battery, controlled for ignition right?).
battery charged and tested

Ok, let me explain my troubles:

2 wires fits on the starter: one black/yellow little size ordered by ignition, one black/red normal size which go to the battery.

When the plugs are on the starter (metal shield of starter on a ground of the car), when i join together the 2 wires said upper, by an external wire, starter work perfectly (gear exit and turn), but when i turn the key only nothing appear.

I know that my english isn't good, but in my mind it's the black/yellow wire that is in fault because the continuity of the "normal" wire exist, no doubt about it.

The solution i expect to install a start button relay (how many Amperes?) to command the ignition.

Do you have any hint or help about my starter trouble?

Cheers.
