It either doesn’t seem to get fuel at all, or it fires for a third of a second, and then gets cut.

I wish I could just disable it, I’d already organised an expedition tomorrow with a bunch of mates. I’m dreading calling them to say I can’t go – Toyota drivers you see... It’s going to give them some quality “Land Rover’s are unreliable” ammunition!

Thanks again to everyone involved, I really appreciated all your help. Looking forward to getting her started and getting involved with the forum.

Have you tried the EKA or even have one?

Got it going folks, but it certainly isn't "sorted". I appear to have no alarm system (no blinking light on the dash, and no indicators illuminate when I lock/unlock via the fob). It just came good eventually after a few hours of efforts, so I'm not sure why. At least it's clearly linked with the alarm/immobiliser, hopefully the dealer will be able to sort it out.

Kris, I think I have the EKA I believe - can that assist? I pulled the fuse box out, tested relays, disconnected battery - none of that assisted with the problem. It just obviously got sick of me playing around with it, and arbitrarily started. No issues then all afternoon, started it and stopped it about 10 times?

My assumption was that it was the immobiliser but if you have no alarm that may or may not be the case. The EKA allows you to start the vehicle if the immobiliser/alarm is not functioning. My bad......
