My series did this when I first had it. The problem was a dodgy ignition switch. As Arctic2 says, we need more info, diesel or petrol etc.

It is a 16 valve twin cam land rover petrol engine. The red button is the fuel cut off switch. 1.8ltr. Thanks in advance

K series.
Check the engine is getting the correct fuel pressure.
The fuel system suffers from filter blocking, and its never changed because its in the tank as part of the pump.
