Default 2003 Disco II won't start

I have a 2003 Disco II HSE with 120k miles that I LOVE to drive, but I always am fixing something. Typical Love/Hate Land Rover relationship, right?

Here's my latest repair that I need help with...

I am driving the truck and the "M S" lights on the dash plus the light on the gear selector starts flashing. Truck goes into limp mode, etc. So, check the forums and think it might be a battery. Take the truck to the battery and he tells me that it's ok. I figure it still could be the better, but before I buy a new battery, take the truck to check my fluids just in case. Transmission shop says the fluids are find in the transmission and transfer case, but now the truck won't start. CODE P1884 I believe, crankshaft position sensor. So, I replace this and the code no longer shows, but the truck won't start. Just turns and turns, but no fire.
Any suggestions as to what I look for next?

Thanks again for the help!

If nio spark, it is common for CKP install to be botched. Goes engine+sensor+spacers+nuts.

Default Update on repair

Hey guys,
Here is my update on the repair:
I finally gave up and had my truck towed to a local shop. The mechanic replaced the CKP sensor again and the truck still wouldn't' start. Turns out some of the wires on the wiring harness had burned some, so one these were replaced, up and running again.
I hated to have to spend the money, $300.00, but I am so glad to have my truck in the road again!

Were the burned wires for the crank sensor or something else?

The wires were separate from the crank sensor. Funny thing is I was having almost daily 3 amigos and since the repair I haven't seen them since, going on two weeks now.
