Hi all, just bought a 2002 manual 270cdi estate. Problem is the engine will not crank. The dash lights and glow plug symbol all seem to work as they should. Had to bump start to drive home, drives very well with no other problems. It got too dark to do anything today so will have a look tomorrow over the pit. The only thing I have checked is fuse 52 drivers side fuse box. This I think is the starter relay fuse. The key moves through all the positions as it should but nothing happens in the start position, the starter relay does not click, the starter never tries to engage just dead. I'm hoping its the starter or starter relay just hoping its not the switch. its done 198000 so I suppose it could be any one of them. I was going to try shorting the starter solenoid tomorrow and see if I can get the starter to engage. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks John.
