Hi, had the same problem with our Sprinter Van this week, had the guy from Merc out who ran a thorough check on all injectors and found one leaking, it could be that you have a faulty injector. These new high pressure systems require full pressure to start properly. My TD6 Range Rover had a full failure of all 6 injectors when only 6 months old! Just an idea

Now...I've got a confession to make Having now read the manual (!) it says if the car repeatedly fails to start you should keep the start button (and brake pedal) pressed until it starts (rather than pressing and releasing the button immediately as you would with a normal start). I will try this next time I have the starting problem; hopefully it will cure it.

Memo to self: RTFM

But many thanks anyway for all of the advice  14.5MY SDV6 HSE Dynamic Indus silver/lunar/ebony 20" wheels, InControl, full-size spare, electric tow bar, adaptive xenons, adaptive cruise control, auto main beam assist.

I take it all back. -10C this moring and we're back to square one; it took about 12 attempts to start, even with finger planted on the button as per the manual. Spoken to two local dealers. Both agreed it's not right and both suggested I call Land Rover Assistance if (when!) it happens again, because by the time the dealer can have the vehicle in, the chances are the weather will be warmer and they won't be able to replicate the fault. They say it's unlikely that any fault code will be stored as a) there is no warning given on the dashboard; and b) the engine isn't starting so won't recored a fault  14.5MY SDV6 HSE Dynamic Indus silver/lunar/ebony 20" wheels, InControl, full-size spare, electric tow bar, adaptive xenons, adaptive cruise control, auto main beam assist.

Take it to the dealer get a loan car get them to leave it out in the cold and let them try it / sort it, they have more access to tek than the assist cars do surely 2014 5.0SC AB

Update: happened again this morning so got LR Assist out. Couldn't find a specific fault but agreed that there was a problem as it wouldn't start Mechanic has written a report and I've now booked it in with my local dealer (earliest they could get it in with a loan car was next Thursday ). Best guess is a faulty glow plug. I'll keep you posted. 14.5MY SDV6 HSE Dynamic Indus silver/lunar/ebony 20" wheels, InControl, full-size spare, electric tow bar, adaptive xenons, adaptive cruise control, auto main beam assist.
