After being rescued by the RAC on monday morning, i'm mobile again.The contacts in the starter solenoid had worn, leaving me with a click and nothing else. Thanks to anyone who has previously posted on this - you saved me 200.00 for a new starter.

Total cost of repair 14.86 for the repair kit from Toyota.

Total time to do job 2hrs, including 1hr driving to the dealer to get the bits.

Just been for a 2hr blast to celebrate!!!

 

Quick tip: Don't remove the bolts from the bellhousing:

If you put your hand through the gap over the rear link of the lower wishbone, you can undo the bolts with one hand (using a long wobble bar) while pulling the starter forward with the other, the bolts stay where they are, making it easy to line up the starter when you put it back again. Re fitting is a reversal of the removal procedure.
