The vehicle is RHD and there isn't much room between the starter motor and the steering pinion (?) thingy.
Many thanks in advance

These are "Fun" to work on with the RHD set up.
I have found to gain a bit more wiggle room in this area to let the 3 bolts holding the steering box. Can then drop it a little to give some clearance to remove starter motor. Exhaust could also be in the way depending on your set up. Can also drop this off. Another way to let the 2 fwd engine moubts go and get a bit more sideways clearance from steering box by moving front of engine slightly to left. Its a tight area to work on from the underneath.
All the best.
