Try re-plugging the multi-plug on the ECU.
On mine (series 2 350) the ECU and relays are in the passenger foot well. So playing with relays may disturb the ECU plug.
I believe the series 1's have the relays on the rhs inner wing so this might not be relevant to you.

When I bought my car at the start of the year it would start then refuse to idle after a couple of minutes. The problem was solved by replacing the temp sensor which feeds coolant temp ( I think !) to the ECU, this is located right side of the engine ( looking rear) at the front on top of the head, next to another temp sensor. The part number is LETC8496 from landrover and is about £12. Hope this helps.
