i cant seem to be able to get to my starter motor on my P reg vauxhall vectra 2.5 v6 sri. i need to replace it but can't even see where the bolts are, let alone get to them to remove them. what needs to be removed and how in order to get to it?

3 hour job for v6 - 2 wires and 2 bolts. top bolt very difficult. torque bolts supposed to remove drive shaft first

I have a similar problem with an L reg vauxhall corsa. There are 2 bolts to be removed but where the hell are they ? Can't get to s/motor from the top, too much in the way, can't get to s/motor from underneath as also too much in the way. Do Vauxhall expect us to remove half the engine just to get the damn thing out ??
