I have a 2009 TDCi 110 XS utility wagon which replaced a near faultless 2003 110 Td5 County double cab and it is a huge leap forward in almost every respect.

Unfortunately I have a recurring problem where the engine drives normally with no warning lights; get to destination, park, get back in and try to start but the temperature gauge goes to maximum deflection (although not hot) and the engine turns over but won't fire. Had LR assist (the AA) out once, trucked to dealer who only reported a poor connection on the ECU plug. I have since discovered on recurrence of this problem that pulling the 30amp ECU fuse in the fuse box under the drivers seat sorts (resets?) the problem. I haven't yet found a convenient time not sort it myself. The problem more often manifests itself after a long run but not necessarily. It may not happen for a week and then three times in the same day.

Anyone else experienced the same problem and know the remedy?

may not be related but I has the same thing on 7 year old TD5, go to start, turned over but would no fire up, noticed tamperature zone in red but not hot, then later would start and then run rough like it was missing
the main stealers said computer stuffed!!!! then I found a thread:

just by running and extra earth wire from the ECU to a different clean chasssi point it went away!!! and cleaned the other earth connection

Interesting. Just got my Defender back today after a week(!) with dealer (actually second week out of the last three) and they have "remade" the connections in the engine ECU plug and cleaned and re-sealed all the earth strap connections. Having had it back only the afternoon each time I get in it I'm still filled with trepidation but hopefully after fortnight I'll be back to being relaxed and pleased as I was before the problem occurred. If it does reoccur it'll be for sale!
