My old Austin Allegro lost its starter motor (literally - the teeth on the ring were so worn that one day instead of meshing they met head on and pushed the starter out sideways through the casing), so I hjad to park facing downhill for a weekj or two.
Any chance someone could list the wonders - bizarrely I can't read it in the UK...
"We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee.
