starting is getting to be a problem, I thought it was glow plugs but now it's warmer I'm thinking something else.
Lpfp sounds OK draws 4 amp. When it has started it goes like a rocket.
Could it be the fuel filter
.also no codes and the tick over is raised just a bit used to be 750 on the nail

I looked at those and all inspec,but before I did that I viewed fuel pressure which was 0 then after the first try it goes up to 145 then after the second try it goes up to 178 then on the third try it starts and goes to above 20000.
Is the pressure sensor in the rail ?

Here's a weird thing today 6 pm I tried to start my lr3 and it started just like it used too.
The weird thing is it was telling me it was 13 degrees c outside.
Now my wife is just about to leave in her car so I ask her what the outside temp is and it says 22.5 degrees c
So can anyone tell me where this temp sensor is? As it looks like mine is stuffed could this be the issue to my starting.

If you take the front grille off, and look down behind the bumper, from memory, I think it will be there. I can’t remember if there is an electrical connector on it, rather than being hard wired, but if there is, you could try cleaning the connections up, and see if that alters the reading.

They all do that Sir
If you turn the car off, when it’s 13 C and you start it up hours later, it still says 13 for ages.
It’s the software!

I will take it off and see if it's working or if the are cheap I'll get a new one I still can't understand the starting I have done nothing yet yesterday it did its thing of not starting until the third try then today vroom on the first try.
Are they linked as yesterday the temp was around 16 degrees but today it's 22 and it started.
I nearly bought
Lpfp
Hpfp
Starter
Fuel rial
Injectors
Yet it might be as simple as an ambient temp sensor...well see
