HELP! Car Won't Start!

I hope that I'm over looking something obvious... Embarassed

I've had the front end off and light out to change my bulbs, put it all back together and have come to start it.

1st and 2nd key turn everything is normal. I wait for the glow plug lights to extinguish and then turn the final turn. Nothing! Big Cry

It's not like a splutter when you have a dead battery... It does have a fully charged battery.

Best way I can describe it, is when you go to start the car but have left it in Drive and nothing happens. I definatly have it in Park!

I hope you guys can help... I want to go home! 07 Land Rover Discovery III HSE

Have you had the battery terminals off? Are they fully pushed down before tightening?
