When the Manual tranny on 240D has been removed, is there a reason why the motor can't be turned over? The dash lights work, but the glow plugs don't glow and the motor will not budge. Dash lights virtually go out when trying to start the car. A ground strap is not connected down near tranny was. Does this to be hooked up too? Any other possiblities besides a dead starter? I was trying to get compression numbers on this parts car that was suppose to have a dead tranny removed. Maybe motor was seized too.

Thank you so much.
