I think ive got some serious issues.... I replaced the water pump today and got the balancer back on started it 2 times with no problems now it wont start... The starter motor clicks like crazy when u try to turn it over. I think it might be buggered. If its stuffed could i have broken something else in the process?? That au conversion is seeming like a really good idea atm...............

if its clicking like crazy, you might either have a flat battery, or a bad connection on the battery / earth etc.

Put the headlights and high beams on and try start it, do the lights stay on?

The clicking noise will be the relay, either it is not getting enough power (flat battery/poor connections), or the relay is faulty. After charging/checking battery and cleaning terminal connections, try swapping the starter relay for the low beam relay.
