Sounds like the battery died. Cold temps are hard on a lead-acid battery. If the battery is cheap or has some age, it will show its true colors in very cold weather. Consider testing battery with multimeter or a battery load tester. If none are available, you can take the battery out and have it tested at the local auto store.
Sounds like either weak battery or a weak starter not turning it over quick enough. Check thoses areas first and then go to the ignition switch and check
Your Land Rover is no doubt fuel injected.maybe cold start injector. injects gasoline when starting in the cold, carburated vehicles used to have a choke to enrich air/fuel ratio when starting in cold.
If you mean everything goes out when you turn the key to the START position, understand this:
* Accessories will turn off during START to remove excess load on battery
* A weak battery will draw down and cause this symptom - the two most likely times of year are when it first gets really warn outside (batteries hate heat) and when it gets really cold outside (Natteries hate cold).
* A defective starter can draw excessive current and cause this symptom.
If your battery is more than three years old, I would suspect it first..
Do you have a good battery? Cold weather is hard on batteries. Also you may need to change to a winter grade of oil. Oil thickens in the cold a makes starting difficult as well. Let me know. Thanks.
I would start, since it is cold outside by checking to make sure the battery is in good shape. If it is not, it will run but when the cold comes it will eventually not turn over. Note: Turning on the lights to see if they are bright is not a good check for the batteries abilty to crank the car. If you have a Checker or Autozone or other auto parts store see if they can test your battery for you.
With the sudden stop starting I would also suspect possibly the fuel pump or the pump relay.
plug your block heater in during cold nights. if it turn over your starter works but it may be cold. BTW the cord is in the front of your car just plug it into an outside outlet
I read the other two solutions top your problem and I have to say, some people should not give advice, because the advice they are giving is not worth anything. NOW, let me tell you what is wrong with your car. You have a defective IAC (Idle Air Control) value. The IAC value (sometimes called a cold start value) is used as a means to quickly start your car when it is cold outside. Replace the IAC (easy to do) and your problem will be solved..
