Turns out to be a fault in the immobiliser system. Rear passanger door wiring damaged sending an error signal to the ECU.

Noise has stopped now magically of its own accord. Removed the battery for a few hours the other day and when reconnecting it was much quieter. Since then it’s just gradually become quieter and had no issues since then. Car is still running fine...

Loosen the earth lead on battery but leave it connected, switch ignition on then off and immediately disconnect the earth lead from battery, then remove the positive lead if you want to remove battery to charge or change battery. That is the way...

WOW....> Cant believe how cheap that is.

It is highly unlikely to ever happen again, just drive your car and relax or go to we buy any car and get a price from them and part with it if the price is ok.

I have a Carpuride in the Jag which is pretty much identical. Great piece of kit.

I have fitted this great unit to my Defender, it has Android auto and Apple carplay, front and rear cameras and front rear dash cams, reverse camera and hands free calls and texts and whatsapp calling and messaging, it reads text and whatsapp...

Non of the electric fans are driven by the belts, I once had an electric cooling fan on a Volvo stick on and flatten my battery, whatever yours is sounds like it has a bad bearing or catching on something as well as being stuck on, when my fan...

Electric cooling fan maybe, or aircon fan or heater fan.

I fitted one of these to my Defender recently, it's fantastic. Front and rear cameras/dashcams, reversing camera, music streaming, which improves sound quality a great deal, hands free phone and texting, reads texts out, and whatsapp messaging...

Sounds like air might be getting into the fuel line, try bleeding the fuel system using the bleed sequence before starting, likely leak point may be at fuel pump connections. I do not know if the 2.2 bleed sequence is the same as the TD5...

Most likely need to clear the fault. Find a diagnostics tool specific to defenders and clear the code

I can vouch for that too.

There be air trapped in the ABS module and may need to have this bled out, may need a Nanocom to do it.

A few months ago I replaced the Aux belt tensioner on my Defender TD5 with a cheap ebay one, it was fine for a few days but then the belt (which was also new) started screeching, I replaced the belt with a new dayco belt but it still screeched...

I wish I had 4 gallon left after doing 300 miles, 300 miles is about average on my TD5, to the point of low fuel light coming on.

I was pretty please with this! I broke the Rear Ride Height Sensor on my 2004 D2 TD5. My fault. Overloaded a trailer briefly on a gravel road. Anyway, after getting multiple comments about my saggy rear end, I made up this temp linkage...
