Did you take the engine out to do it or shunt the gearbox back ?

Obvious first place to start would be earth strap to battery, not sure where it goes to on a td5 though. It has to be something obvious like that to completely stop everything working!

Dunno where the earths are on a td5 but it does indeed sound like you forgot to put it back.

check with a multi meter , put one probe on the positive side of the battery, the other on the ecu mounting bolt, you should have 12+volts, if not re check earths

Follow the earth cable from the battery. On my old fender it's bolted to the chassis using one of the gearbox crossmember bolts and to the transfer box.

The only thing this can be is an earth issue.

One thing you could try in the mean time is get a length of battery cable link it to the negative terminal and touch it to a bare piece of chassis/gearbox see if you get power.

Also are you certain the battery aint fooked?

yup, just stick a jump lead from bat neg to engine block/chassis and see if everything works.

If you have put the earth lead back on, check the mega fuses underneath the drivers seat.
