My defender 200tdi now wont start after it juddered coming up to a roundabout, I pulled over and it cut out. I’ve checked the timing belt and it’s not that. I’m getting 12v to the fuel pump solenoid but I’m not getting any fuel to the injectors.

Any help is very much appreciated

Just an update on the non start issue, took IP off and sent to diesel bob and he confirmed the pump was a mess inside. Got it back after a rebuild and car started straight away, didn’t even need much cranking to bleed the system but quickly noticed the outlet banjo on the back of the pump had a rather quick leak. Will give diesel bob a ring in the morning and see what they say

Did you get a new banjo and copper washers?

Yes, supplied brand new banjo with the washers. Tried the old ones also, still leaking

Yes, which has got me a bit confused as it didn’t leak before hand

I wouldn't do it on an internal thread but two of our injector pipe to pump outlet leaked so I used some ptfe tape.
Have to be careful with it obviously.
Let's us know what Diesel Bob says, he was very helpful when we had an issue.
Ours drives very well after having the pump and injectors done, made a big difference to its driveabillity in all gears. Expensive but was worth it.
