Before taking my car to a dealer and throwing cash at the problem i thought i would ask forum members for their diagnosis. Who knows i may try to get fix the problem myself.
My 2006 freelander diesel is reluctant to start. Symptoms are:
- normal warning lights - including glowplugs illuminate and then go out.
- starter motor appears to engage, turn engine over for 1 second, but then stops.
- i have repeated the sequence several times and each time the glowpulg indicator comes on then goes out after 5 seconds.
The fuel filter and pump were changed less than a year ago. Car has 60K on clock.
