Stoped to help pull someone out of hedge , connected winch, engine running flicked switch on remote engine stalled . Engine cranks not start no EML showing no fuel pump working . Checked all fuses , relays ,inertia switch . Thought might be ECU sent away couldn’t find any problems had it upgraded while it was there. Fitted back ECU still same problem, checked and cleaned all earth connections.battery in good condition. Anybody got any ideas ?

If the fuel pump isn't running and you have checked everything else then maybe it's the fuel pump itself?
Quite common to fail.

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be power getting to ECU, new fuel pump 9 months ago ! Thinking it might be a break in wiring loom ?

Could it be a break in the wire from the inertia switch?

I had something similar at the start of last year. The ECU has permanent lives and ignition switched lives. If one or other are disabled some of the functions work (such as the starter motor) but not others (warning lights, some ofthe gauges behave strangely). My story is here

TD5 electronic faults - any ideas?

My 2006 TD5 Defender refuses to start. I'd just pulled in to fill up with diesel and it failed to restart, although the engine spins freely on the starter. Other symptoms include: No engine check light or glow plug light on switching the ignition on. Temperature gauge goes straight up to hot...

including links to some of the resources I used to find the fault.

I'm not saying your problem will be exactly the same as mine but it shows how I solved it.
