Have you got sufficient gas in the system as low pressure will cause the clutch not to engage.

If the bumper is not fitted yet could it be fog lights or front parking sensors (if you have them)

Remove trim screws, remove trim, and unbolt brackets - the nut serts turned on mine but managed to jam them with a screw driver.
At least I think that's all I did.

| Try using a long screwdriver or simular to listen to the noise you might be able to narrow down the area it's coming from, I had a simular noise but louder and it turned out to be the A/C compressor.
