Cold start! - Deck - 10-01-2013 11:10am
Your opinion please!
This happens every morning since temps are below 0C!
They (LR service) replaced battery and upgraded software!... same problem every morning, even last morning didn't start at all, therefor I called LR assist!

Could be fuel waxing in the cold weather

It seems that 3 (THREE) spark plugs are not working!!! That's bizarre! Do any of you have an idea what could generate this?!

I thought it was a diesel engine?

Surely must be an ECU/SW thing or Damp in the electrics, as you seem to get it running eventually meaning the plugs and leads are working!?

It looks more like waxing in the fuel. Stood overnight the fuel in the fuel pipes appear to be waxing. I'd be checking the grade of fuel you are using.

Could well be, unless the glow plugs are not heating the cylinders, then it would struggle to fire in those cylinders when cold.

Depends on how cold it really was, I've driven/used mine in minus 10 and had no problems with the glow plugs, to be honest I'd forgotten we had them as there seems no delay in the starting process.

My mistake! Glow plugs!

Around -15C overnight but only -5 in the morning!
With new glow plugs everything it seems to be ok.
