CDTi non-starter

So, I am having even more probs with my 2.0 CDTi.... now I am unable to start up. 2 days ago I fired the engine, which seemed to start but then cut suddenly before it really got going, not sure if I heard a bang? This was followed by clicking when trying to start. Now I have a new battery fitted, but still cannot get anything other than clicks. All lights on OK, oil etc... fuel pumps priming, fuel being delivered. I just can't get her to fire. Is this some sort of immobiliser issue? Any other suggestions.. I'm pretty hacked off with the car, spent loads getting it ready to MOT having had her off road for 3 months... last thing was having rebuilt the suspension with new springs, shocks, tie rods & drop links, I found the drivers side drive shaft support bearing was trashed, so the shaft was rattling about when the steering was on lock. replaced that as well.. All I want is my car to work!!!

Thanks for any suggestions...
