Hi,
Put the front of the car up on some wheel ramps.
Get underneath it and remove the plastic engine tray
Put a jack under the engine sump (stick a block of wood between the jack and the sump to protect it a bit)
Remove the bottom and top bolts from the engine mount on the starter side.
Jack up the engine enough to remove the engine mount
You should now be able to get at the starter
The easiest way to remove the bolts holding the starter in is with a battery ratchet as there's not much clearance between the exhaust downpipe and the back of the gearbox housing. Or you could undo the two bolts attaching the downpipe to the exhaust manifold and drop it down to get it out of your way.
Remember to disconnect the battery before you start mucking around with the terminals on the back of the starter.
