hiya sorry found out i was being a nob!!! i have a 99 disco TD5 and on frosty mornings i can wind the thing over for anything up to 10 seconds before it starts. i had this last year too and my local LR dealer had a look and a test and couldnt find any problems. All summer it was fine, and now...

hi all, sorry i cant get my questions to work on here just sending test

quick update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! took car to LR garage and after checking oil levels and general trouble shooting, hey could not find anything out of the ordinary, but suggested doing another oil and filter change just to rule it out. They did say that periodically they do get they odd 'dudd...

lol!!!!!! thanks Matt :D

cheers flybywire i will check that!!!!!!!!! ha ha i only want to be able to charge me phones up!!!!;)
