there was a humerous pic on here showing diagramatically how it may be found... wish i could find it.
The starter is located at the rear of the engine, underneath the exhaust manifold and sort of in front of the turbo. seriously tho, its a nightmare, i have pretty long skinny hands/arms and i could only just touch some of the bolts at a stretch. i ended up giving it to the garage becuase i was low on persistance at the time. it can be changed at home tho, as others will prove.
