I think the light next to the clock is something to do with the immobiliser, I might be wrong.

try disconnecting battery for an hour or so,see if it will reset itself,sometimes you might have to leave it over night,is it turning over,or just not doing any thing,what damage was caused in accident

will try disconnecting the battery later. The damage was bumper, bonnet and radiator.
Not turning over and brake light on dash comes on when key is turned to start position.

Is there not an automatic immobilizing cut off switch that can be reset, should you be involved in a bump :?:
Check above both front wheel arches inside the cab :idea:

Code 15 is, I think, unrecognisable key :? Do you have 2 keys :?:

Maybe check around the ignition barrell, to see if the receiver is damaged. This reads the code from the key
