Hello all, i am new to this forum, can anybody help me:
I have just replaced the clutch in my 56 plate diesel, it was a heck of a job with taking lots of suspension away to get the gearbox out, especially on the driveway with the front aloft on axle stands, but its done! after reassembling the engine/gearbox components i decided to try it whilst still on the stands so fired the old girl up and 'hjey presto' fired up fine and clutch operation felt good. only 3 warning lights on the dash, a) door open, it was! b) handbrake, yep again! and c) power steering warning light, well thats odd, never came on before but i thought perhaps the wheels are off and the front is aloft, i am sure it will clear when its back on terra firma. So put the wheels on, rechecked everything again and let her down. turned the key and nothing!
the code warning lights goes out, the fuel pump activates as normal, everything is exactly as you would expect when you turn the key but it just clicks. it does not crank over. WHAT HAS HAPPENED? I have checked the voltage at the starter motor and it only reads 4v when you turn the key. Why did it start fine on axle stands and now not once it hit the ground, does the strange steering warning light have anything to do with it? please help?????
