Hi Folks
got a problem that i am in desperate need of some help with. I decided today that the time had come for me to replace the alternator belts and fix the broken alternator adjuster so i don't have the poxy dash lights flashing at me all the time! Anyway, i did the following, in this order
-disconnect drivers side battery
-disconnect passenger side battery
-remove drivers side battery and battery box
-disconnect the multi plug from back of alternator and cleran with elec contact cleaner, left off.
-remove alternator adjuster, weld up (on the bench) and refit
-remove viscous fan and water pump pulley
-fit new alternator belts
-adjust alternator and re-fit multi plug
-re-fit pulley and viscous fan
-re-fit drivers side battery and connect
-re-connect passenger side battery
-switch on ignition, all lights on
-try to start and ................surprise surbloodyprise, NOTHING!
I can hear the glow plug relay click in when i put the ignition on, all dash lights are on and ok, headlights work, batteries are 12.5 volts each, central locking working. In fact everything is fine other than the starter engaging, no solonoid click, nothing! i tried the boost pack on it too and no change at all. have i disturbed something? I thought the 12 to 24v changover solonoid was behind the passenger side battery and i haven't taken this out so can't have disturbed that can I?
Any help very gratefully received as I've got to drive from Suffolk to Plymouth tomorrow night!! Poor timing for repairs i dare say but hey, I'm like that!!
cheers in advance
