Default non starter

I have a 2001 TD5 which i love and cannot imagine beign without it. This last week I have had a spot of bother, I put the key in the Ingnition and she starts from cold, I drive her about for 2 hrs,then stop for about 2 hrs then she starts up again go about 10 miles from my home switch off try to restart from hot nothing. All the lights on the dash do come on.
1 I do not think its the immobilisor. if it were this, surely the alarm would sound if switch was opreated. As the doors activate and disengage on the key remote.
2 The starter does not turn at all when i turn the switch no clicking of the solenoid.
3 Could it be an earth problem, also my thaughts are could it be a dodgey relay getting to warm, or the switch barrel itself.
4 Have not tried this yet but will check if i get a 12v supply to the starter once the switch it turned this would prove, either it is a starter problem or a relay problem.
Does anyone have any ideas please thanks

When a vehicle does not crank when hot, I start with the battery first, then the starter? Test both.

When working with GEMS vehicles. Never try to locate a misfire by pulling plug leads off - pull the injector connector instead. Otherwise you can blow up the ECU.

Secondly never swap ECUs between vehicles to test them, because both vehicles and ECUs may stop working, and you'll have to have them all reset by a franchised LR dealer (ouch!).
