Dee, if he put the battery in the wrong way round more then likley he'll have blown the alternator as well and this is why it might be dead.
 
dee123 i would start by checking the main battery fuse its normally around a 75 amp.this would be the first to go (normaly)

he got the battery the rong way round the plank, got away with a 75 amp fuse. very lucky as he was looking at £200 4for a new alternator.
 
If the problem only started when the engine was cranked , it is likely a Main cable on starter after the solenoid (check glow plug wiring also), reverse polarity would be an instant problem and you'd notice it immediately. Sometimes fuse-links are used instead of H/D fuses.
 
always note position of cables and where pos and neg are as the old rule red is pos no longer applies as ground cables can be read also [ plonkers ] and if you need to hammer on ground connection,you are putting it on + connection which is larger.
