changed clutch and flywheel

Right lads and ladettes I have changed the cltuch and flywheel in the disco. I have done a full service while its off the road. Now it won't start I have purged it all the fuel is all the way to the cooler. I have been told on here the crank sensor so cleaned that and it started to smoke when getting turned over. But the mate that done it has spoke to a few people he know and there saying its the flywheel. A guy on here said its just the battery needs to be at full power so took it off last night and put it on slow charge am hoping its that.

It started first time everytime before I done the work

i suspect the crank sensor, if it started ok before the work then it must have either been damaged during the flywheel change or its the wrong flywheel with no reluctor. what smoked? the crank sensor? that shouldn't happen so i suspect that will be the problem

Hello mate when we put easy start in it jumped a smoked the rev's went up. i got the flywheel of ebay a valeo 6months old. The car has 176K on the clock. i am charged the battery and it didnt do anything fully charged. we did bang the crap out of the gearbox and engine trying to get it to line up.

Well i changed the crank sensor and it didnt do a thing. So carried looking checking earth's and low and behold it started but like a bag of spanner's. reattached the earth properly and boom back to life. thanks for all the advice.
