Was last starteds about a week before no issues at all. Battery is fine had headlights on OK but not even the pump runs which only takes a small current. In the back of my mind there is a large fuse somewhere on the chassis. What does that control? Thanks for all your previouse comments

The 100A fuse on the chassis is between the alternator and the battery. It wouldn't prevent a start but the battery would not charge.

Sounds very immobiliser to me.
PM me for how to bypass, ideally once you’ve taken the dash top off to identify which alarm you have.

It could also be the relays in the footwell, or a fuse or two.
Your manual will tell you the fuses, and the relays are shown here
