1.2T turning over but not starting

I recently bought and accident damaged grandland 1.2T.

The car had sustained front end damaged (bumper, headlights, bonnet, radiator, crash bars) but was running and driving.

I've now replaced all the damaged parts but now the car won't start, it just turns over.

Has anyone experienced the same issue?
Thanks

Disconnect battery, leave 30mins, reconnect and try again.

Also look for fuel cut off switch under bonnet that may have triggered.

I'd plugged in later model headlights that caused a body control module error. Original lights fitted, error cleared and started!

Just disconnected battery on my Grandland X and wouldn't restart. Cure. Reconnect battery, close and lock doors, go for a brew and return 15mins later car started. RAC man showed me this after I called them out.
