Ok thank you black wolf. I am gonna check along with the rest tomorrow morning before work, and try to charge the battery tonight. If it is an immobilizer thing, I'll need to find out the EKA number then? Even with a synced fob? Making my Defender great again. (Or trying to at least xD)

If when main battery is charged it cranks but does not start then try the instrument cluster bypass by bridging pins 3 and 4 or the instrument cluster wiring connector with it removed from the instrument cluster. see martins post in the bottom half of page 7 of this topic. https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic47486...p;start=90

Have a look and check the 30A starter solenoid fuse ( undocumented) as per martins post on page 11 , with picture of its location.

I will definitely look at those 2 fuses, the only ones I haven't checked. They seemed to be a different format than the others in my car, and as you said, I could not find much info on those so I disregarded them.
Thank you

Okey, battery back to 13.2v. Car did not start, however, because I felt like it was something stupid I checked again those 2 fuses I changed... F8 was blown again, car started like a charm.

Thanks to all the guys that participated, I definitly learnt a bit more again. Now I have to check why there is no door lock barrels (At least on the drivers door xD) Making my Defender great again. (Or trying to at least xD)

Good news but there evidently is a fault on that circuit if the fuse is blow, and that means to say a short so that needs to be fixed as soon as convenient and I’d recommend you carry spare fuses if that rating in case needed.

Only it could happen again, and the fuse would only blow due to excess current draw or a short. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Yes, I'll have a good look when I remove the dash and headliner. I'll remove the battery first this time
