I bought a Freelander XDi 6 weeks back when a got rid of an MG TF and its a crock of ****. Among many other problems my friend has sorted I still have the cold engine starting problem. It takes 20-25 seconds to turn over if the car has not been in use for 10 hours plus. After its been started and run for a while it will turn straight over if I use it again in the next 1-8, 9 hours. I have goggled the problems and come up with coolant temp sensor, this has been changed, no affect. Timing out, the belt has been off when my friend changed the leaking crank oil seal but he said the cam belt was warn as when whoever had fitted it had done it incorrectly and it was rubbing on the cover. He has refitted the warn belt to get me motoring again and I have bought a new one. Cold starting problem is still there so has anyone got any ideas or a checklist he could go through when putting on this new belt to try and cure this problem as I am worried when the frosty mornings arrive it isnt going to start at all. All usual cold starting problems have been checked, glow plugs, battery etc. Cheers Andy.

check your fuel pump timing , mine was the same , a pig to start first thing !! also check your leak off pipes , these can go hard and let air into the fuel system !
