Hi from Australia, I have just bought a 2010 Citroen Berlingo 1.6hdi aka Peugeot Partner that was used as a courier van. Apparently the driver wore heavy boots as the clutch is kaput after 150,000klm. I am trying to install a new now but removing the starter motor has me stumped, I have been following instructions from a Haynes online Workshop Manual that is just a little confusing and vague. Does anyone know where I might find instructions on how get at the two remaining bolts that really can't be seen.

Hi - off the top of my head - there's two that you can best get to from underneath and the threads point towards the left hand wing (if you're sat i side looking forward). There's another facing the other way that you get to with ratchet extensions etc etc after removing the battery and air filter gubbins.
(I think you can get the inner two off by leaning over the front of the engine if you are double jointed and have eyes on stalks)

Sounds like the starter removal I did on my sons Vauxhall Astra a while back ......
a good sense of ESP required ! ( extra sensory perception and not some modern car gimmick .. Lol )
Actually the best way on such things apart from You Tube etc is to take a break and have a go after a cuppa / next day even when you are feeling fresher and then all seems to be much easier.
