Troubleshooting - Hard Starting in Cold Weather

Applies To:

Discovery I | '94-'96
Range Rover Classic | '87-'95
Defender 90 | '94-'97

There is a service bulletin circulating at the Range Rover Dealers that you should know about. It suggests that you consider placing 5W-40W oil in your vehicle if you live in a cold climate. This will allow the starter to turn faster and help eliminate flooding problems in cold start situations. Move back to a 10W-40or 20W-50 in warmer climates and in the summer.
