That’s what I was hoping wasn’t the answer.
On a tilt cab they are bad enough but there’s a certain knack to them. Involving a long ish extension. If you’ve a battery / air ratchet they’re tons easier

My horsebox starter is super accessible, thank god, but finding a starter motor is like finding rocking horse poo.

It's one like I've never seen before, just a cylinder, and runs in the reverse sense, as it's fitted heading towards the back of the vehicle. (TS3).
Like this one but a cylinder, yeah need to find a pro, I've had the old one apart twice, but never found the fault, eventually found a s/h one, which works.
Huge tv,what a minefield this was ,part way through deciding,we both gave up and settled for a donated tv 
,anyway this 50” was stolen from our local independent whose father is a good customer,he even delivered it ,and spent an hour setting it up,‘‘tis huge and a major refinement from the previous model.problem is , that many channels and it’s the wrong time of year to be distracted .

Sorry was 40 years ago at least, And ours was Maroon 
I do remember groveling to reach anything after removing cover
Had a ERF as well the thing I remember is the blankets/carpets draped over the engine cover to try and silence the noise and fumes.
That will look really good in dark green or maroon
