Unlikely all three coils have died so check that you've reconnected all the wires to the battery, and that you haven't knocked the inertia cutout switch.

If all is reconnected ok, hows the wiring loom? have a good look around cam & crank sensor wiring,coil & earth wires,& any other wiring you may have moved as you may well know these are prone to engine loom probs...

There is no easy answer here but first you need to look at what you have removed & refitted.
 
No.1 front pulley & crank sensor.
Are they fitted correctly as this is where the whole spark process starts.

Ive checked all conections and they look ok,but the cables are badly cracked,so how easy is it to change the loom between the V section,

I reinsulated this loom, required the inlet manifolds removing but it wasn't too bad a job. Make sure that you check the crank sensor wiring as mine were touching each other due to failed insulation causing no spark.
