In the electrical box under the bonnet, at the left hand side of the car, just by the windscreen.
If your car has the drive-away protection (which helps to avoit it being stolen) then there might also be a relay behind the left kick panel. My car doesn't have this system but I'm fairly confident that those cars that do have the relay there.
i just pulled up mine and it's weird - it just have 2 leads at pins 30 and 87. also when i give the starter a stiff knock or two, it starts ok again.
what's wrong here and how many bolts are securing the starter motor?

I forget the name of it but that "relay" in manuals is just a jumper to join the two terminals together.
Starters have 2 bolts from what I can tell.
sounds a lot like a sticking solenoid to me
