How annoying when you don't get the final fix of the problem described. Id say it was the Ignition switch which is a really bad design in the Defender. They seem to burn out or get very intermittent. If when it cuts out you can restore for a while by turning the key off and back on again Id say it was the 3 position switch at the end of the barrel. VCV faults are normally temperature dependent and normally play up when cold (sticking) so I would doubt it was this.

I have a similar problem now that is getting worse so ill get to the bottom of it and post it on here. "You are never to old to learn something new"

DOH! Yes right at the bottom of page 2. Sorry. That's quite a major fault and not a simple job to put in a new high pressure fuel pump.
It doesn't seem to be the same fault I'm experiencing as all my instruments die when mine cuts out so it's definitely electrics . fiddling with the ignition switch brings it back to life but not for long. "You are never to old to learn something new"
