- Hey Lads We are finally monetized which is amazing so please enjoy some more videos coming out soon! For now we will be removing the old starter motor from my corsa and attempting to fit a astra starter motor.

Excellent video, gave me a great head start. a good tip as well is to put an M8 stud about 30-40mm long in the bottom bolt thread before fitting the new starter. it will line up the starter and the 2 bolt holes also taking the weight of the starter, making it a lot easier to get the top (braille) bolt in. After tightening the top bolt half way take the stud out and replace with the earth bolt.
Thank you for an excellent, demonstration, I'm more fortunate than you as I have a pit to work in, you have the advantage of age, I'm 74. My wife's Corsa is 25 years old and has been a very reliable car. Thanks again. Stay safe
Cheers mate. My car's not starting and I came to the conclusion that the starter motor is fucked.
Figured that since I'm stuck at home, I might aswell fix it myself rather than take it to a garage. Since it'll give me something to do while I'm glued to my house given this coronacrap is going about.
Appreciate the video.
Great work as always mate!
Nice job pro keep up the good work
Thanks, I did it on my son's car today and only had the ramps available. But it worked. So the reverse assembly was a lot worse. I hope I don't have to do this again for a long time.
Nice video, job well done.
Very helpful, it has confirmed what I suspected, a horrible job to do!!
nice one tom I was under the corsa yesterday fitting a crank shaft sensor I looked at the starer motor position and concluded it would be a pig to remove
Fantastic job. Very tricky to do
Well done ☺
Thank you
Great job, when you repare coolant fan?, Mines doesnt work at 100 c , I revised some parts, but no clue, thanks for your videos mate.
How do you know when flywheel needs changed?
What size engine do you have? I honestly dont know how you got the bolt out thats against the engine. spent 20 minutes+ trying to get the socket onto it blind before I had to give up! I heard some people have to remove the alternator to try get to it
I watched but don’t need to change mine. At least I know what to expect! Thanks top video.
Yeah a nightmare hahaha, thank you so much for the comment
@@TomsDriveway Well I'm back because my starter motor has started sticking after starting (just a second or 2) sounds like the solenoid Is not pulling it back quick enough. Just ordered a new one to come this week. So back to get a refresher course! Just wary of the bolts snapping...
Funnily enough mine started sticking and completely failed. I just fitted a new one this morning since the other one was second hand from my dad. Thanks for visiting!
@@TomsDriveway Done mine today, I have no skin on my right forearm and left hand! Got all the bolts out no problem, putting the new one in....grrr the double bolt would just not go in. Got the rear bolt in about 10 seconds. Starts totally different now, I was getting an ECU error on startup with the old one, ok up to now! Did notice my old starter rattled when you shook it...not good! Anyway, good tips like the paper in the socket for the rear bolt was a lifesaver. Cheers man.
Yeah my old starter rattled too actually like a piece is broke inside or something. Funnily enough I found the double bolt the easiest and the top a nightmare. Electric ratchet saved my hands luckily. Nice one anyways
what engine is that ?
Are diesel and petrol starters located same Place?
Ihello i beg to see cable starter where connect up .?
What make is the starter please
Hi,good video,bit of advice , next time, remove the O2 sensor, remove the V belt and the tensioner, and remove the alternator and you’ll have full access to the starter motor ,you can even undue the 2 13mm bolts from outside the car if you have enough extension bars. It’s a roughly one and a half hour job.
Were did you place your trolley jack to raise the car so you could get axle stands under
I put the trolley jack next to the control arm base.
I changed the starter motor thanks to your vid car has same problem not starting just wont turn over any ideas I can hear the relays when turning the key
Great vid mate. What made you install an astra start motor instead of matching corsa ine
I got given the astra one for free and according to an online parts matched it said it fit. Well it was wrong haha
@@TomsDriveway lol. So it doesn't work? You needing to take it off again then?.
@@evieemaya88 yeah Haha I had to take it off I decided as it touched the bracket. It was a nightmare to be honest doing it.
@@TomsDriveway annoying but content for us and the life of a youtuber. But glad u make some.money from it now. So annoying job will have some sort if upside now.
Do you think you will do a gearbox oil change any time soon?
I have just recorded that video, so stay tuned. Just need to edit it!
Hi do you know how i can make my steering wheel controls control my phone eg when ive got my aux plugged in to skip track on music on my phone? Would be loads better if i could instead of pressing my phone? Thanks i have corsa d
Also my car is using waaay too much oil do you know any common faults what that could be? Thanks
Have you checked for oil leaks first? If so could be worth stem seals, head gasket etc... you cant skip songs over aux. Its literally just audio input...
Thanks for reply and ive looked for leaks i cant see any but just been told maybe piston rings?
I want to see starter cable
Is starter motor in same place on a sxi 2007

Nice job! What year is your Corsa?
2008 buddy
My Corsa is from 2006. Corsa D Cosmo. Nice car;)
Not an easy job to do you will need a wobble bar for the back bolt or you will never be able to remove it.
