Car seems to be inmobilised, but started by towing it, and does not start with the starter motor. Could it be inmobilised?
Checked fuses and relays ( swaped some) and it does not start, and can not hear the solenoid.

I am thinking it could be the ignition Switch. !,,How can I check this without taking to steering wheel out?

If she started by towing, it's unlikely that she has been immobilised.
Does she turn over normally, or is it laboured?
Do you have a multimeter or a test lamp?
If so, check that you have voltage to the high pressure pump which feeds diesel to the injectors (could be a loose connection)
Check that you have a good earth between the battery and the engine
Check that starter solenoid is securely attached to the starter motor.
Those are a few to begin with.

Check the little wire on the starter , does it power up when ign turned

Mine did this a few times turn the key and nothing. The Land Rover garage changed all three relys under the drivers seat and it never happened again.

After doing every check you can imagine, found it was the solenoid of the starter motor. Just looking at it, and seeing it's a bit of a mess to get it out, I gave it a solid bang with a metal bar ( afetr trying with a piece of wood ) and a hammer, and that did the trick, I am praying it does not happen again.!!!}
