List~

My starter is beginning to give me grief (just ask the NOWROC members who 
cheerfully(?) gave me a push start off the ferry, and about 4 other times 
through out the day!). P/O reciepts show the starter was rebuilt/solenoid 
replaced 10 months ago. Now when the car's been running for a while the starter 
gets overheated and shuts down. 

Question: Do I have to replace it or with these symptoms or would a heat shield 
solve the problem? 

Question 2: If I have to replace it is there a FAQ that shows how to get down 
in there and do the job? I've been told I can come from underneath but that I 
have to cut out the triangular metal piece on the frame that guards the starter 
from mud. Reliable sources tell me this is not a good idea for structural 
integrity. 

TIA!
