Right so I checked the voltage on the fuel pump and it was 4.67 volts or whatever. Thought I'd check the cable connection point to the back of the inlet manifold, sanded the top of the L ring terminal and bottom again as well as the manifold for the second time... fired up straight away. Great news right?
Well, here's the bad news.. when I fired it up I heard a loud grinding noise. Turned the engine off after a few seconds and inspected the bay, only to find smoke coming out the rubber that sits on the gearbox next to the slave cylinder.
I fired it up again briefly to test the gears and it wouldn't go into any even though I bled the clutch. Turned it off checked the linkage (fine) seems to go into gear with the engine off but not on.
So you can imagine how pissed off I am considering I've spent nearly £800 on a new 4efte clutch and flywheel and now it's not functioning properly grrrr.
I put on the flywheel with new bolts (loctited) and cleaned it with brake cleaner, same with the clutch. It had a new thrust bearing fitted properly, spline and centre clutch greased. I used an alignment tool when guiding the pressure plate on. I just don't know where I went wrong.
