First frost of the year, landy coughing!

A modern landrover will be reluctant to start if any of the glowplugs are defective - check them all.

 

 

 

Have had it where we had to go through a pre-heat twice to get a start but always one plug out of action.

 

 

Td5 don't have glow plugs.

Its is a landrover !

Td5 don't have glow plugs.

 

Does according to LR4x4 forum. A lot of newer direct injection engines only use the glow plugs when the temp gets down below 2°C and you don't see the light any other time.

So it does, I've never had a light come on though even at 10 below like the other year.

I run a 80hp case tractor. It used to get through them 100AH numb tractor batteries every two. Years until 15 Years ago. I put a 55AH optima red top on it. Never failed since.

Excellent cold start power. expensive initial outlay. I think I paid £139 then. But 15 yrs is 7.5 battery's of the other type.

It really is a no brainer lads. Unless someone can tell me otherwise. I'm not an agent either.

Mitsubishi and transit, first piston up, this time, every time.

 

See the light, and ditch the rover.
