Video tutorial

In this video, see how complex it is to replace the starter motor on the Opel Astra H version: this component is located in a position that requires you to lie under the vehicle, which is quite uncomfortable if you cannot safely lift the car. Additionally, to access it, you need to remove the battery.

The YouTuber colourfully emphasises that this is a complicated job, although feasible, and points out that the retaining screws are not standard but Torx, which is important to have the right screwdriver.

You can find the replacement, for example, on Amazon with the code B0764M9RJ8 for £74.00, with delivery charges of £8.
