Ph2 172 not starting

[BS172]

Hi all
needing some ideas why my car isn't starting. I've recently swapped the engine with another one, now I've put every thing back into place topped up all the fluids, connected the battery. I jumped in to turn it over and boom nada. My mate was thinking its the starter but the solenoid isn't clicking at all and the engine isn't turning over at all. Could itbe an immobiliser issue ? If so how do I sort it.

Is there lights on the dash

Yeah all the lights, radio etc work just the engine doesn't turn over.

Check the earths and the fuses..

 

[BS172]

Done that mate all are ok

Any EML lights on? Have u a code reader?

check the earth strap on the gearbox!

The stop,service light was on so was the red light in between. Gearbox earth strap is on and unfortunately I don't have a code reader.

Another point which is probably related is the fuel pump isn't priming either.
