guineafowl21 Thanks for all the info and reply, as I say I'm just getting my head round all this; so I will most probably ask some dumb questions / make dumb assumptions :O).

You see I've never had the glow plug light come on to heat the plugs, it illuminates with all the lights when the key goes to the first position but then goes off with all the other lights / warning lights that aren't warranted to be on. I'm sure the manual says the light will be illuminated...

A question if you wouldn't mind pls? You mentioned the glow-plus should be looked at first, are the glow-plugs used on all start-ups? This is my first diesel so I have a steepish learning curve but I thought they just kicked in with low temperatures (<4degC). Thanks

Hello Folks Got told off a wee bit for posting without introducing myself (I like that!), so, let me introduce myself: I've just bought myself a 2005 Freelander TD4 3dr (my first Landy). My wife, my wee one (just turned 4) and my good self want to get back to getting up mountains/camping; so...

Hello Folks I have just bought a Freelander Mk1 3dr with the roof bars that come down the back of the vehicle (please excuse my ignorance as it is my first Landy). I'm looking for some type of roof rack for but with not much luck. I bought the Landy as I needed more room to go camping but now...
