1999 diesel - advice needed

Hi,

I'm sorry to be a pain but I'm wondering if anyone can maybe point me in the direction of what could be wrong with my freelander.

Firstly I know or rather presume that I need to replace my injectors as my Landy struggles to start without east start spray into the air inlet, once started the engine fires up every time first turn once the engine is warm, but once stood it's back to the spray to fire it up. Am I correct in this diagnosis?

The other two problems are: when driving and the cars been running for a bit a whistling noise comes from what I'm suspecting is the wheels, when I break it ceases and change direction...could this be a bearing?

And finally the internal cabin temp gets very warm, even when the heating is turned off. What could this be? The temperature gauge doesn't move for a long period of time and then it's only a small amount.

I'm sorry to ask but it's my first Landy and I'm just recovering for a major motorcycle accident so not the sharpest at the moment.

Glow plugs not injectors. 3 are
easy to get to and can be done yourself. The 4th is a pain in the arse. Many only put 3 in.

Noises are hard to diagnose as we can't hear them, it's all down to how well you explain them. Could just be brakes siezed a little on the sliders.

Probably a shut thermostat. Temp gauge should rise after a couple of miles then sit in the middle

Don't use easy start on a regular basis..... Engine get addicted to it (somehow - just don't ask me how)!

Easy start can damage the piston rings. It literally rounds the top of the rings off. This causes loss of compression and so creates an Easy Stat addiction.

Oddly, no. I'm useless at them.

Try diesel rhino,I was having the same starting problems and thought i would need to get the injectors sorted but after reading good reports i decided to give it a try and wow what a difference starts straight away and now has loads more power and fuel economy is improved too.
