Hi. All I have a 2004 Defender 90 on Saturday it just died on me as I was driving down the lane. Would not restart. I got a tow home started having a look around but couldn’t see anything. Put the battery on charge as I had flattened it trying to. Start When the battery was fully charged. I switched the. Charger to. Boost then tried to get her started I carried on cranking her over and over. Then eventually she fired up and started it was like I had fuel starvation. Have been looking all over but cannot see anything obvious started and stoped the engine. Many times today on the drive no problem at all. Then went for a drive to the local garage. About 2 miles. Filled up my Gerry can when I came out from paying. It would not start turned her over. But nothing sat got a couple of minutes calling the bloody thing all sorts of names. Then really turned it over. It coughed but did not fire up. Carried on turning her over. Then she fired up it was like fuel starvation again. Any one got any ideas please

Ok thanks I will go have a look now thanks for your help guys
Hi. Guys. I check
Ed all earths could not find any problems. But fitted an additional earth from battery to inner cab bodywork. Had a full diagnostic check done. Fuel filter housing. Renewed with new no return renewed injector seals cleaned the fuel system pipe work Now. Runs and start well. Also seems more responsive So fingers crossed , next job is the new transfer box
