Yes sure, I bought it from auction with no key, I have had a new key coded. But it still won't start 
. Not to sure if I should scrap it or put the money in to get it running the thing is I don't even no where to start. All the electrics seem to work ok, windows lights radio ect. The suspension was in the highest position when I got it but I pressed the button to lower it which works but can't put it back up until the engine runs. It has 152k miles on it which is a lot I think. If anyone has any opinions or any advice of what they would do please let us know thanks.

Looking at those DTC descriptions, there's a security seed problem and a coding problem - either it has the incorrect ECM fitted, or it's been 'messed with'. The second issue I have seen caused by low voltage causing the module to drop out during security handshake, so I'd suggest disconnecting the battery for at least 20 minutes, reconnecting and then charging for at least an hour before turning on the ignition.
P061000 Control Module Vehicle Options
Error
Car configuration file (CCF)
settings mismatch
Configure the module using the
approved diagnostic system.
P063000 VIN Not Programmed or
Incompatible - ECM/ECM
VIN not programmed
VIN incompatible with
vehicle specification
Configure the module using the
approved diagnostic system.
If one or both DTC's are still present, then you will need the control module programming - if it's been swapped, then it may not be possible to over-write so a replacement will be needed. Until it is coded with the correct VIN & CCF date, it will not crank.

Thanks for the reply mate.
1st I will replace the battery or make sure the battery is fully charged.
2nd I could have someone look at the starter relay or I could look at it but not to sure what to look for.
But what about the first problem security seed problem/coding what can I do about that.
Thanks
Probably nothing - you need professional help. It needs to be properly diagnosed and the values in the control module checked to determine if it is the correct module for the vehicle, whether it can be reprogrammed or needs to be replaced.
There are many mobile diagnostics type companies around, get in touch with one or more near you, explain the problem and tell them the DTC's and see what they say. When I worked in LR dealers, the solution we would present would always be 'replace with new & configure using SDD' - purely for warranty reasons, there are places that can 'virginise' control modules, which may be the best option if you can find someone to code it for you. Of course, it may be a defective module or there may be moisture ingress to a connector which has caused the issue, so there may be more to it than initially considered with an 'internet diagnosis'.
