however, if you press the clutch and the engine stops, then there is something which is binding preventing the crank from rotating... usual cause for this is the crank thrust washers around the center main bearing. Simple way to check, get someone to press the clutch and see if the pulley on the other end of the crank moves outwards.

So the problem with the stalling has now stopped? The flywheel is standard (unlightened) and you have fitted spacers?

Yes the stalling has stopped now, the flywheel is standard and im pretty sure the clutch is in the right way round as i took my time when doing this. And yes i have put spacers in

If the spacers are effectively applying too much clamping force on the clutch plate, it will never release properly.

This probably sounds stupid but should the straps on the flywheel be able to move to allow the clutch to work properly?
