hi guys been a while since i've had any issues with the RR but it seems it wants to start playing up now, typically anyway couple of issues.
first one is starting if the car had been stood for say over 5 hours and i goto start it it either turns over a lot longer than normal before it fires, or it fires in the normal time, but regardless does the same it starts like it had been emptied of fuel and it is just getting fuel back through (i.e catches slowly then builds to normal revs) i have changed the plugs this morning as i thought they could be an issue, they were worn but the problem still persists. it runs fine once started though. i have read somewhere it could be the fuel pressure regulator, and also i've noticed a couple of sites saying the fuel filter is the pressure regulator? any ideas? i've not done the fuel filter last 2 services as car runs on LPG 90% of the time.

2nd issue, the car threw up air suspension inactive a couple of days ago, i cleared the fault this morning, but every 5 mins or so the compressor is kicking in for a couple of mins, i've replace both front air struts, would i be barking up the wrong tree to think it could be rear air bags? the car docent seem to drop on rear corners and the height stays constant. any other known problem areas with the air pipes (apart from it's a bloody Range Rover lol)

cheers guys

Not gonna say this is your problem but on my 95 classic I was having to let it turn over for probably about 10 seconds sometimes and my fuel pumps filter was clogged up with junk after I replaced the filter it cranked just like new.
 
i'm thinking fuel filter, i've also seen bounced around net that it could be the crank position sensor as that can cause same symptoms but i'm not getting any error codes to point to that so it's a strange one indeed
