If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Forgive me if I'm only now stating the obvious, but you have swapped the ignition barrel or the whole lock from the old one so that the key matches the ecu & immobiliser...

I sorted this by changing loom and coloum over on the weekend.
I changed over my steering coloum so it's all my original truck, so I can turn my original key in the barrel, which has the correct chip in it for the ecu and immo box, and all starts.
facade - I did have my original key in the pickup ring yeah, which I'd pulled away from the barrel to make sure it picked up my key not new key which was in the barrel being turned, but the pickup looked different and I couldn't swap over as the wiring was different on the loom. And the wiring for the immo box was different so I don't think it picked that up right either.
With the new loom in, entire coloum pick etc, it starts!
Turns out it's a little more time consuming to put a loom in neatly than it is to pull out an old loom! 
I'll pop some pics up on my progress thread once it's looking a little more together
Thanks for the help guys
