It's your relays. Get someone to turn the engine on give them a saddle and you should hear the pump run and the temp gauge to down to blue. Give it a try possibly a cheap fix.

I have tried the relays today but not the main relay

Just to keep you all updated, I used a hawkeye to see what was going on but wouldn't connect to the ecu ,
Got a second hand ecu and plugged in the hawkeye and bobs your uncle and all that,
All the lights came on but obviously wouldn't start,
Going to try coding injectors later,

keep you guys updated,

Don't want to put you off but injector coding is a fine tuning exercise, I very much doubt it would prevent starting of the engine.
When my defender was acting up.the nanocom would boot up but would not read from the ECU, but with the new relay fitted then it started to read, by the way there were no faults logged in the ECU.

Did you check voltage at the main relay?

I am changing chip from my old ecu to my new 1 tomorrow, something to to with alarm and ecu,

Will keep you informed

For future reference, what made you decide it was the ECU?

Cheers

There was no correspondence with 2 different diagnostic tools,

Plugged In the spare ecu and all up and running, I.e. fuel pump, glow plugs and reading diagnostics,

hi when you say up and running did it start or try to start normally will run okay without re coding injectors

No I got to get a chip from my ecu to the new ecu swapped over so that the alarm etc is linked to the ecu,
