Owned an 06 3 door Freelander TD4 for 6 months after a Mitsy Pinin was hemorrhaging cash. Love it. All good, however, from cold the engine starts first time (9/10 times). If I stop outside a shop, and switch off for 5 mins, it will start again first time. If I have switched off for 30-90 mins, it will always start first time, but cut out/stall after 3 seconds. The throttle in this time is unresponsive. It will then start perfectly on the second go. Please help as I don't want to spend loads on something the mechanic cant find if this is a common fault. Thanks

hard to start .. warm engine .. is often a fault with the cam sensor [easy to replace ] ..
although .. the cam sensor is only used on startup a.f.a.i.k.
you might want to check the fuel-rail sensor plug/socket for corrosion .. give it a good clean [ common issue ]
if it's a m.a.f. [airflow sensor] issue .. that can be checked by disconnecting the plug n' see how it behaves ..
might be an idea to get it checked for 'fault codes' .. [ obd scanner ]
howzit drive once it gets started ?

Thanks for your advice... removed and cleaned the 3 clip sensors: cam, fuel-rail and MAF, no joy! Still the same warm engine stall.
Runs fine once started, its a little (say 80% power) sluggish for the first 50 yards, but thereafter its great. I changed the fuel filter and rear fuel pump in January as a matter of course, so I've ruled that out

I'd put a diagnostic device on it and monitor the live data from the sensors, to see if anything is a miss which coincides with the running issue.
It could well be something to do with the low pressure fuel pump, not delivering full pressure until it's run for a bit, but the live data read will give all this information.

And therein lies another problem... my friend has an OBD2, but it wont recognise/pick up my vehicle!!

Try another OBD2 device, as it is an OBD2 compliant vehicle. I used my phone and a generic LM327 BT interface to connected to my 05 SE EDC no problems.And therein lies another problem... my friend has an OBD2, but it wont recognise/pick up my vehicle!!

that would certainly do it .. [ cut out 'n stall ]
i did read somewhere that a faulty injector can show up / cause issues .. when warm
but behave fine when cold ..

good luck with it
