Hello Folks,
Just wanna pick your brains. I've got a defender TD5, it's brilliant, however it's just a bit lazy on starting, it turns over fine but cranks over more than I think it should before it starts. When it starts if puffs a bit of black smoke followed by a puff of white and then we're off like a bullet, I can turn it off,fire it up again on a button. I was thinking maybe a glow plug might not be doing its job. Also only after turning key orange management light flickers on and then not to be seen again once we're away.Any thoughts?
