Might be with trying to move it away from fuel station as sometimes they interfere with immobiliser

Thanks all and mhm, think you could be right. Just tried it again and it started. All ok for now.

So to complete the story: On Saturday morning we pulled up in the local fuel station mini supermarket, tried to restart the Disco and whilst I had lights, fuel, could hear the fuel pump and various relays clicking and whirring the starter motor wasn't turning over. Turned it all off and on again many times and even tried a jump start; still not starting. I was parked facing up hill with a wall behind me so couldn't roll or bump start my way out.
Rang breakdown and posted on here. After about 30 minutes of waiting for the breakdown I gave the key one more turn and the Disco started, as MHM suggested it may well have been the fuel pumps interefering with the immobiliser. We then continued with our plans for the weekend; went to pick the horse trailer up from the local stables, drove to Warwickshire, dropped the trailer off (all without stopping the engine) and arrived just in time to watch our son competing in the two day horse event. So all ended well but I'll not be using that fuel station again in a hurry. Thanks to those who responded with advice.

It used to. But if you want to delete what you have written just select edit delete the text and leave a full stop. It leaves a blank post. Bit bloody daft really and cannot see why self post deletion is not available.
It used to be - part of the "upgrade"?

Turned out to be a dodgy connection on the starter motor - the little Lucas connector lead, not the gurt big one
