were the hell is it on a my99 lol, and would a starter motor from a 98 fit?

 

i think its behind the inlet maniford?on the right side. dont no about the fitting tho?

 

yep, thats right, just under the intercooler on the right hand side, you'll need to take it off as there are 2 types as i found out recently, easy to take off, just 2 bolts holding it on. expensive too if you buy a knew one, i paid £130

 

cheers for that
