URGENT - Warning lights and reluctant star at -7 degrees.
Y'all
I'm leaving Austria tomorrow morning for the trip back to South Wales. When I hit Calais last week my engine warning light came on, then went and has been on and off like the much talked about prostitute's knickers.
Yesterday and today the think takes ages to start up. You're talking 5-10 minutes turning. It then fires up and when I just drove back from our last meal of the hols the battery light came on the went again. It has been -7 Celsius today - not that cold really don't think.
Have tried to get some sense from my dealer (Waste of time) and also LR assistance - but do you fellers have any ideas?
Leaving at 9:00 local time so any thoughts would be good.

thoughts as much - just hoping there was some Disco 3 dodge to get it sorted ASAP. Have just asked LR Assistance to contact a nearby LR Franchise to see if they are open on Saturdays.

Diesel Pump
Have just said goodbye to the Disco which is on its way to a LR garage somewhere in Europe for a new diesel pump. Local SOS callout team sprayed something into the air filter and tried to start it from a battery pack and still no joy.
So we are drinking coffee waiting for a taxi to the airport!
