300Tdi auto.
Got an odd starting problem. If disco sits for a few days sometimes will not start.
Sounds like flat battery. Battery is one year old, checked readings before starting and readings are good, checked again when running and battery and charging is good. Had battery and charging also checked by my local garage with their fancy check and printout machine and get good readings.
Have checked all earths, ( renewed 2 years ago) and have extra earth to engine.
Going square eyed reading all reports I could find on poor starting.
Once jumped ,get instant start, can stop engine after 30 seconds and car will start all day long after that. Very annoying, I think something may be draining battery but where do I start. Now going to start removing battery lead at night for a few days to see what happens.
