    Is this in the under seat fuse box?

    Thank you to all that helped advise I got clutch sorted ;-)

    Have had this problem on my TD5 and it is usually the solenoid. (Tap with a hammer usually sorts it out temporarily!) Don't have any experience re a 2.25 petrol engine. No doubt those with the knowledge will help you out further.

    Flicking temp gauge, loss of power but not overheating??

    Possible earthing problems? Check usual culprits, battery, engine and ECU earth.

    Defender TD5 fuel gauge false reading.

    Could be wrong fuel pump? Pump for 90 and 110 have different senders.

    Td5 weak/ stalls when towing - gutless!

    Fuel related and/or injector seals, wiring harness, oil in ECU plug.

    Fuel pump? Relay? Wiring?

    The starter relay for TD5 pin out as follows:- Pin 30, brown/white from the 60amp fuse, 87 goes to starter motor (brown/red). 86 is from the ign switch to the relay coil, white/red, and 85 goes to the alarm control unit, black/orange, presumably to an earth from this unit. Hope that helps...

    Fuel pump? Relay? Wiring?

    Sounds like a corroded earth? Do the lights work on full and/or dipped beam? Does need the fully charged battery, hopefully you still have access to that to get you running.

    Gggrrrr starting issue

    Given what you have put your engine and battery through, how is your battery charge? The battery needs to have a decent charge and cranking capacity. Have you tried charging and/or jump starting? Just re-read initial posts, you have been re-charging battery, I would only add that you should...

    Good Old Earth

    Looking again at wiring diagrams for the 12j engine up to 1986, and for those from 1986-91 the lights are individually earthed and not by a common earth. As above check the bulbs and the supply to these bulbs, so if there are a few bulbs not working, earthing would not be the immediate suspect.
