How to replace starter motor in Mondeo estate 55 plate
As title, if anyone know's if it's easy to get at or is it buried in the depths of the engine bay?
Any help appreciated and will earn some rep points

Just something to consider...is the starter sticking or having trouble engaging? The dmf breaks down and classic signs of this are starter failure....check when u remove the starter if lots of swarf comes out..if so u are wasting your money putting a new one on as it will again block up and fail

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
take the battery and tray out,
its under these, held on by 2 13mm bolts
easiest way is unbold it pull it back then undo the wires
theres sometimes a heatshield over it held by 2 10mm nuts(same position as the starter mounting bots
its tight to get it in and out but it does fit
when the old starter is out bang it on the groud, if dust starts falling out, the dmf is dying
thats the usual reason for these starters to fail, they get full of dust and jam up

had a go at it tonight, started by trying to remove the fan assembley and get at the starter that way.... needless to say didn't work
will remove the battery etc and go down that route 2moro night

My car is having some problems with the starter motor. It's not engaging sometimes and the starter motor free wheels. Rocking the car works most of the time and the starter engages. Does that sound like a DMF failure?
