This could be all related to your battery issue. If it doesn't have enough boost then you get nothing (Well It did on mine until I put a new battery in)Same symptoms as you describe,new battery and roared into life.
Bit of a pain without the Anderson fitted,but I would try jumping from another car(If you have one) to eliminate the battery issue.

Run a wire from the battery +ve to the solenoid connection on the starter motor. If the starter motor is OK it will turn the engine over.
You need to have the car securely raised to do this - lifted on a jack is not secure.
Do this with the ignition off and the car in neutral.
If the starter doesn't spin then you need to investigate this further. If it does spin then the problem is in the ignition circuit. Could well be the immobiliser as they are known to cause problems due to the way that TVR wired them up, but could also be the ignition switch itself.
If the problem is the immobiliser then you can bypass it but I don't have the details of how to do that. The immobiliser may need to be replaced (and the wiring corrected.

All sorted, after looking at all the possibilities that it could of been to sort my issue out of car suddenly not starting decided to try jump starting it and it started 1st turn of the key, so new battery needed lol, thanks for all your suggestions anyway, feel like a right doughnut now for not trying that first lol

Did you bypass my comment SeanBit of a pain without the Anderson fitted,but I would try jumping from another car(If you have one) to eliminate the battery issue.
While you're getting the battery pay some more money out and get a Pro-light trickle charger or the like to keep on charge and then investigate that green light you have on the door knob. Otherwise that will just drain the life out the new battery in days.
I know it's more outlay but any drainage will take affect on the new battery and once they are drained their never the same.
