Yes the 5V plugs were fitted so should be ok. Glow plug light comes up on the dashboard in the morning when cold but not when warm so should be working

Thanks for the response, I got that checked when the new battery went in and all was ok. Fuel rail pressure is also ok as that was another idea

Thanks very much for your help Nodge68. Is that something an average DIY mechanic could do (aka myself) or would I need to take it to a garage?. At 5c it normally starts ok but anything around zero or below is when I get issues. Would fuel running back make starting worse at cold temperatures...

Thanks, was just trying to get extra heat into the engine by starting the glow plugs twice. Don’t want to damage the starter motor as it happens multiple times each day it is cold. The videos show when temp is only 0c so much worse when colder. Thought it could be coolant sensor but no other...

No don’t touch the throttle at all. Normally turn ignition on, wait, turn it off, wait, turn it on again, wait, start the engine.

Ahh I see, thank you. Here’s a couple of links https://youtube.com/shorts/WVAxL_JDXYg?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/wBZKgBfJCmc?feature=share Thanks for your help

Initially cranks over ok but then sounds like it’s going to cut out as it is spluttering tying to start. Repeats that for a while, before it finally starts. Won’t let me upload a video so you can hear it sadly.

Thanks Nodge68. Yeh I got the garage to check this and they used the correct 5V plugs. It’s had a full service history and only covered 60k miles. Only issue is when it’s cold

Hi everyone. Have some trouble with my 2013 FL2 recently by where it really struggles to start in the cold. Once the engine is warm then no problems. No problems on a warm day either. Glow plugs, glow plug relay/control module, and battery have been replaced but not changed anything. Battery...

Hi, I have a 2013 freelander 2 and need a new set of glow plugs. Read something that says some of the FL2 have 5V plugs and some have 12v ones. Any help as to what a 2013 model uses? Thank you

Hi, sorry not quite sure what you mean here? Please can you explain?

Yeh the correct plugs were used. Checked the fuse box and there is a glow plug relay and fuse. Just can’t access the fuse easily as it’s behind the side cover.

Only 50k

Thanks, will take a look

Hi Not sure it’s is plug related, just thought battery and plugs is the first place to look. Not sure where else to look tbh…. Plugs aren’t easy to get to in the FL2 to test voltage. Hoping the garage did it when they put the new ones in. Any other thoughts on where to look next? Thanks for...

How do I do this please? Multimeter? If they have no power what would you suggest I do next? Thanks guys

No error codes at all. Didn’t check the power, just got them replaced as by the time the garage got to the plugs it was worthwhile replacing.

Hi everyone, I have a 2012 freelander 2, which struggles to start when it drops below 5 degrees. Anything below zero and it doesn’t sound too healthy at all. So far it’s always started so not been left stuck anywhere. Once it has started and the engine is warm there is no issues at all. I’ve...
