Just tried to start the Defender and nothing!
I had a brand new Yuasa battery fitted a few days ago. All was fine but just went to start it to move it into the garage and nowt. Lights won’t come on even the interior light but weirdly the head unit clock is the only thing that works.

Any ideas? I’ve checked the terminals haven’t shook loose. Dead alternator or did the garage forget to reconnect it to the alternator somehow?

Bloody cars 😄
Cheers
Mike

Why did you have a new battery??

Same reason??

Do you have a battery drain, that killed your previous battery and is now killing your new battery ??

Was the battery fully charged when fitted/parked up?

I figured it out, I think the missus turned the battery isolation switch sticking out of the seatbox!
