Sorry, that would she’s helped. So there’s one strap in the end of the box that goes to the chassis.

For some reason I had it in my head this attached to the tie strap that’s a bit further back but I was wrong.

The other is on the back of the box, just up from where the near side driveshaft goes into the box. Easy to forget.

Get him to double check all the wiring, its likely that something hasn't been reconnected properly, I did my clutch and gearbox last week and I am trying to remember all the things I disconnected. Some of them wouldn't cause an issue but some might, easiest way is to double check everything again, might even need to disconnect and reconnect things to try and make sure.

Right, hes triple checked the earth straps and everything he says but still the same, he reckons its the immobiliser itself!
Hes at a loss, any ideas anyone?

Ok, so I am getting a checklist of all possible issues in order to solve this and so far I have these.

1. Earths
2. Fuses/Relays
3. Crank Sensor bolt
4. New battery/2nd key fob
5. Broken wire.

Anything I've missed bearing in mind it was ok when it went in to have the new clutch fitted.

It does crank like I said but the immob light is solid.

Put the key in the ignition. Lock it and unlock it on the fob.

Lock it and unlock it on the button in the car.

Turn the key all the way round to just before cranking and leave it there for 5 minutes. Then go back, and do the same again but holding the central locking button.

Then try crank it.

Another mechanic mentioned it could be a broken bit on the flywheel as it needs that bit to start the car, he has been know to be wrong in the past though!
