Hi all I've recently brought a discovery 2 as a donor for my defender rebuild, I brought the disco with MOT and running sweet as a nut, however I left the ignition on, leaving me with a dead battery. I put the jump leads on and jumped it off of my dads Range Rover sport, the only problem is that I put the jump leads on the wrong way. Now the disco won't start, it's turning over, but I'm getting no fuel to the injectors, could someone please help

At the minimum you've blown some fuses and/or some fuselinks. There are two fuse boards to check, one under the bonnet on the driver's side and the other one is behind the drop-down panel below the steering wheel.

fuse had blown, checked if the valve was opening and it was, won't start due to low voltage, I can't jump it neither because I have to go milking

I know thought I'd killed that as well
