I've broken the terminal that the spade connector goes onto and need to assess what to do next.

Cheers

The starter isn't that difficult to remove and it will save you time in the long run

I just remember scraping my knuckles and getting very hacked off changing it!

Those clever people at VW (or bosch/whoever) put an extra connector on the solenoid just in case twats like me broke one!

Just had to re-crimp the lead and it's going again :D
