Got my car at garage at the moment. It has a very rough cold idle, sounds as though it is missing and vibrating badly until it warms up! Once up to temperature it’s fine and runs fine.
I thought glowplugs. The garage don’t think it is as there is no indication on the diagnostics.
they think it has something to do with dirty fuel/tank, dirty fuel filter or bad injectors.
they have changed fuel filter but problem still persists. They are talking of removing tank and inspecting it and fuel. They will then check injectors.
Now fuel tank securing plate is rusted and if they remove the tank will have to replace and land rover haven’t got any in stock! It all seems to be getting worse by the minute!
Also the while this is all going on they have found that the prop shaft centre bearing is knackered and it needs a new prop shaft as well!
it’s all sounding expensive.
Was wondering if the general opinion was this was the right route to solving the problem? I am sure the garage know what they are doing, but I haven’t got an unlimited budget to ‘rebuild’ the car..
