Had a problem with the starter motor in the beast today. This is what ensued:
Tried to make it start at 10:30, but no joy. Made the decision at 10:45 to grab the Blue Beast's one & change it in. Started undoing bolts at 10:58. 11:16 starter was undone. My brother worked on getting it out while I got my old (new one) out of the other car. 11:45 they are both out. 11:57 First Bolt done, 11:59, second done up. 12:01, 3rd is on. 12:02, wires are on. 12:04, the beast roars into life. Not a problem. Something magical about hearing a 5ltr V8 Rev out to 4500rpm as a way to welcome in the new year...... Now off to work in 4 & a bit hours.....
