Hi Ya,

Now, im not good mechanics so heres my question, maybe stupid and simple but we cant find out what would be wrong...?

Well lately since about christmas our 300TDi discovery (s-reg) has not been starting in mornings and where it is stored it is reallt shelterd so i dont think that the cold gets to it. Also i know that discoverys and other land rovers are not like this, they can start about anywhere(or can they?).

Anyway, and when we go to start it we turn the key and its trying (i dont know what to put...?) to start but just doesnt :?  :(

It will take about five minuits to start, i dont know what else to put...

Thanks, Steven  :wink:

P.S. i will try and answer any questions you ask all though i bet its something just perfetic what we havnt picked up on.  :lol:

wing nut:
sounds like the glow plugs to me  :?  :wink:

Steven:
...yer do you think so, parents thought about that, but there not really mechanics either :lol:

solihull-mick:
Glow plugs could be the problem, but being a direct injection engine it should start with out them, are you running on cooking oil?

Also check to see if your getting fuel run back, this can be sorted by fitting a oneway valve in to the fuel supply pipe, there cheep from any parts shop,

AbyssDJ:
it should start fine without the glow plugs but in this weather it wont be too happy about it. when you start it, are you letting the plugs heat up first?
