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

Have a read of this thread , more peeps look in the freelander section rather than engines

They went from 11 Volts to 5 Volts in about 2011, so a 2013 will have 5 Volt plugs.
The socket size is different between the two different voltage plugs, so if the same socket fits, it's the correct plug that's going in.
