Land Rover Discovery won't start

Car: Land Rover Discovery
Variant: Series 2, TD5
Model Year: 2001
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
I had the fuel pump changed on the car last week and brought it home from the garage fine. The morning after it wouldn't start.When you turn the key all the lights and radio come on but when you turn go to turn it over there's nothing, not a sound.

Hi again!

The iggy pos wire is still attached. we have changed the plug on the end of the ignition barrel and we have put a positive to the starter motor and that works. Do you think it could be a relay? If so which one do you think it could be?

Thanks

Mel.
