This video shows where the starter motor of the Vauxhall/Opel Vivaro is located. The same instructions apply to the Renault Trafic and the Nissan Primastar, as they are the same van. To remove the starter motor, which is located at the front of the vehicle, open the bonnet, remove the front bumper and headlights: these are relatively simple tasks, as all components are secured with screws that can be easily removed.

Once these components are taken off, you will also need to remove the bonnet stop/support, and you will find that the starter motor is located at the bottom, on the left side when viewing the vehicle from the front.
