Remove starter motor and check it. Also check there is power from starter relay to starter solenoid when key is turned. Could be the starter motor is dead or the starter solenoid has died. Has a spider bypass been fitted? If not try fitting one.
 
thanks Classic Kev...... but what is a spider bypass. will b passing all usefull info to my machanic wed as will hopefully b helpfull in finding the problem.
 
thing is though it ran on the 3 cyliders before dying? otherwise I would agree on starter or inhibit switch if its auto.

could be the spider, I never had one and I cound my self lucky
 
well my friend had a fidle with it today and it was wires on starter, he said to take them off and give them a good clean, and if still plays up will b the starter, but back on road for now. knew it had to b something silly to just suddenly do that. but not getting to excited till i get all conections clean and c if that solves problem.as who knows in few days could play up again lol, after all it is a landrover lol

Don't worry about a spider (passive immobiliser) if you can start you disco without a fob you don't have one and only introduced on the 1996MY disco.
