There was a BSIG recall earlier this year across most Defenders, this is the belt started integrated generator issue which can affect starting and charging of the smart alternator on these vehicles check if the recall has been done, it includes a software check/update.

Venture 4x4 reported faulty starter motor on a recent post so could be that.
Evoque loaner in the meantime ![]() 1974 Series 3 Lightweight = "Millie" Many Range Rovers and Land Rovers over the years 😂 1949 80" - still in family since 1975 |

Actually, the same thing has happened to me three times over the past week. When I depress the brake pedal and push the start button, all the systems fire up, but the engine doesn't start. I turn the ignition off and it starts fine on the second attempt.
MY25, D350 Defender with 600 miles on the clock. Already getting the car booked in for something else, but now may also add this to the list. |

Nothing to report apart from it’s having the coolant hose recall whilst the starting issue is being investigated. Being an intermittent issue then not easy to replicate
