I think it’s a fuel issue

Hi. All I have a 2004 Defender 90 on Saturday it just died on me as I was driving down the lane. Would not restart. I got a tow home started having a look around but couldn’t see anything. Put the battery on charge as I had flattened it trying to. Start When the battery was fully charged. I switched the. Charger to. Boost then tried to get her started I carried on cranking her over and over. Then eventually she fired up and started it was like I had fuel starvation. Have been looking all over but cannot see anything obvious started and stoped the engine. Many times today on the drive no problem at all. Then went for a drive to the local garage. About 2 miles. Filled up my Gerry can when I came out from paying. It would not start turned her over. But nothing sat got a couple of minutes calling the bloody thing all sorts of names. Then really turned it over. It coughed but did not fire up. Carried on turning her over. Then she fired up it was like fuel starvation again. Any one got any ideas please

Lift the passenger seat and find the main battery. Most problems start Under there
ecu are the electronic boxes & you need to make sure these are earthed
