There is also a short on under the plenum, difficult to get at easy to forget
Phil is right about the 'spare' under the TB, that had me perplexed for ages.
Incidentally where did you get the starter, I need a new one as well

Ok so I am struggling to get the car to start.... Turns over ok I have replaced the TB clip that was loose but I still have a missing pipe at REAR of the plenum, its the bottom right hand pipe thats not there see photos below, if anyone knows where i might find that pipe without having to take the plenum back off then I will happily buy a beer!

No, it should start ugh or without that connected - the 3200's don't have air flow meters so it knows no different. Mine struggles to start if the battery is low, is yours charged? Have you reconnected the throttle body and inlet temp sensor electrically? Easily missed...
You need three things to start; spark (battery low?), fuel (injector connected?) and air (nothing left in the inlet pipe work?). With all three and correct timing it will start

Just ordered the new starter from MAES - found them on internet after searching for the Valeo number 6DRA64, they use the Bosch number 0986016530-93N

Very helpful and part is on its way, delivery tomorrow. I had already taken the old one off as they say its an exchange part, but because these are a cheap OEM part used on 100's of cars they don't need the exchange item!

Wow that is much cheaper than I expected. Can't go wrong with that price.

When I lived in Essex, I never bought a new start motor for any of my cars. If one went, we used to take it to a bloke in Rayleigh who would simply take your old one apart and refurbish it.
He used to charge peanuts as (apparently) he was minted and just liked to mess around with bits of cars.
His shop was like something from Steptoe & Son.
Always did a great job though. I think he refurbished the starter for my Alfa 155 for about 24 quid as he repainted it as well!
If not it would have been about 12 quid.

So that's a Bosch part? It looks slightly different around the mounting points to the old Valeo one that I just happen to have sitting in the corner of my living room. I can't even remember why it's there now!
