Starter motor / Fly wheel

How can the starter not be in straight? I'm a total muppet but I'm confident that I couldn't get the bolts done up right and the starter out of line yet not obvioulsy loose. Sounds more like they sheared the bolt at some stage to me.

In your shoes I'd be losing confidence in the garage!

Range Rover Blues:
The starter holds in on 2 bolts, if one was loose then the other would be doing all the work and could be overstressed as a result.  The starter could then be driving slightly skewed and may chew up the teeth as seen here.  I would expect witness marks on the engine flaneg where the motor mounts though, it would also have souonded awful, if the poor earth had not caused a starting problem.  The ring gear didn't get like that overnight though :?

Difficult call :?
