No argument here!! Why do "engineers" feel the need to put an electromechanical device in a new location when the previous "standards" always worked to levels of mutual satisfaction on a world wide basis?!?!? Knowing full well the chosen location will shorten the effective service life of the unit. And make for ridiculous expenses totally un-needed and un-warranted. All I was saying in the above, it's a whole lot easier to lift the intake than pull the transmission.

Yeah, I agree especially considering today's plastic intakes!! It seems that the old adage, If it ain't broke don't FIX it! no longer applies, at least to the young guns calling the shots for the OEM's these days. I can't imagine the explanation for tucking the starter inside the bellhousing unless it was that anyone who buys a Bentley doesn't care about maintenance costs anyway....

Now, BACK TO THE JOKES!!!

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not like the passengers who were in the car with him.
