    New battery

    Could be a mix of both, batteries lose their capacity over time. If the battery is over 5 yrs old then I would bin it.

    6 week old baby in 110 / longer seat belts

    We have used maxi cosi seats in the 110. They fit the std belt but are a tight fit. Can't remember the model of the baby one but it came as part of a pushchair / pram / car seat set under mother cares own brand for the pram bits and maxi cosi for the car seat.

    New battery

    Intermittent faults are probably earths or poor contacts at the starter. It's worth stripping a bit of the insulation back on some wires to see if the cores have turned blackish with corrosion

    New battery

    Not working properly, battery not holding a charge, alternator giving poor output, starter drawing more power than needed. Start with your earths I usually find that is a soft point on land rovers that fail quickly due to corrosion on cables, chassis etc

    Sounds like you might have some earth issues, pumped battery, pumped starter or poor alternator. A good earth check I noticed on one of mine is turn headlights on (with engine off) take handbrake off and if lights dim then your landy is using the handbrake as an earth which will hammer starting...

    TD5 110 Won't Start

    Did you re solder the wire back on? Sounds like that is where you fault is. Make sure it is a good connection. Also check a wiring diagram to see what else it links back to as if you accidentally earthed it you may have inadvertently taken something else out.
