Faulty ignition switch (common) or bad earth somewhere (also common) multipoint on bulkhead, strap bulkhead to chassis as std, worth checking both and adding some more.

A quick check of the rear light clusters may also be an idea, corrosion or wrong bulb in the brake lights, I had something similar on an ex utilities, given the lights have already been upgraded Whistle definitely worth a look.

Does the engine stop if you have taken the key out then dip the clutch? Many utility vehicles are fitted with runlock systems to allow the vehicle to be locked with the engine running, and whilst you should need to press a switch to engage the system there are fault conditions which could activate it without. I wouldn't expect turning the lights on to stop it though.

Something similar here. If the brake pedal has any bearing on this, it is worth checking the rear clusters, as current is travelling to the ignition via the contacts/bulb.

I had the same issue on the td5, turned out that the wiring harness that runs through the front wing had chafed through and was shorting. 1990 Defender 110 200TDI Camper - now converted to Td5 power
