I have a 2020 Defender MAX XMR. Started having unusual starting issues a week ago. Fired right up in the garage (heated) and parked outside in 20F for about an hour. When attempting restart outside it took several attempts with long crank cycles. Today turn key to start and you can hear fuel pump and it won’t crank, Off and on several times still nothing, made sure was in park. Still nothing. Checked battery 12.84 VDC. Tried starting again and nothing until I depressed brake. I took machine on a short drive. Parked back in garage and restarted multiple times without needing to depress brake. I’ve had the Defender for 6 months and have never had to press brakes to start before. What the heck is going on?!
