Rough idle on tick over
Hi i have 2011 LR D4 3.0 V6
When I start the car when cold the idle or tick over the engine sounds really rough and if I leave it for a few minutes the engine changes tone and then runs fine I assume when it’s warmed up
Been to several garages and no one can seem to diagnose the problem
So thought I try on here if anyone else has had this problem

Check the amp draw of the glowplugs it should bei around 30 (not sure on that) per bank. I figured i start the fbh to heat the engine up a bit and it starts just fine with smooth idle.

How do you start the FBH as I thought it comes on when you start the engine

If you don’t have timed climate control you should get an iid tool or get a dealer to unlock it for you. Get a GSM activated Modul so you can start the fbh with your phone. There are many threads about this in here

Just an update to this problem / issue
If I drive the car immediately after starting the engine I get this issue of it running rough till the engine has warmed up I suppose but no matter how long I dive for 5 minutes or 45 minutes the minute I stop tbe engine and start it again after a few minutes I get the rough idle again
What I tend to do it start the car sit there for a few minutes let it warm up and then drive as it be fine
Please note I get no warning lights or codes for this

hmm okay, that does not sound like a glowplug issue. maybe check the injectors ? I can´t think of anything else really...
