need some advice. car wont start! battery ok, ignition ok, green light comes on for immobaliser but nothing. Tried jump start but nothing all lights on but wont turn over.

Have you checked the earth cable to the gear box ? Make sure your getting a good earth.

I'd then check starter connections - are you getting voltage to the solenoid ?when you turn the key .

Just some ideas .

Hope you get it sorted

Cheers

multi meter across the battery read your voltage. then move your neg off your meter to your earth points and see if you get a voltage the same. Volt drop should be below .5 of a volt. I reckon ignition switch though. Clean up all earths and starter connections with abrasive paper.
