good point. I think i'll try preheating once and then waiting another 10 seconds in future and see how that goes!
oooooh....... didn't know about the "cold start procedure for the 300TDi"!
I'll try that tomorrow
Interestingly, this morning (at minus 2 or so), I preheated it once, left the ignition on for 10 seconds after the preheat light went out, then turned the key and it fired instantly.
Do the preheaters stay on even after the preheat light has gone out??
Apparently not
Cheers dave shall wire earth to chassis to make sure
Go straight to engine block not chassis, if its better then its the engine to chassis earth bad.
Not sure but you can supply the fuel solenoid direct from battery to bypass the alarm for a test??
So... anyone else or is it just me??
If it is just me (i.e. it's not a generic Land Rover thing), what do you think the fault is?
If I preheat just once or twice, it will start eventually, but takes many seconds of turning over on battery before it fires!
Two preheats is better than 1 and 3 is better than 2 though, so it's not intermittent, it's just crap!
