clattery start up

The other day I let the clutch up during starting process resulting in the engine sounding like it was firing on 3 cylinders, just sounded clattety Sad A restart returned to normal. Anyone had similar ?

Similar has been reported a few times. Not sure what your search term should be though. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

I have read about this like 'Past Master' elsewhere and has happened to me once only with my previous FL2, it seems the software gets kerfuddled with the firing order, a restart seems to cure it so likely a software glitch.

Another thread here but no real conclusion

Yes I had a similar behavier last summer. I guess it was when the engine swallowed half of the swirl flaps on cylinder 1... I have removed the rest of them now and all is fine. It is all documented in another thread - with photos.

Edit: Yes, my bad. They removed the swirl flaps in 2010.

I don't believe the OP's car has the swirl flaps.


I believe Alex P commented regarding this being a software glitch, if I find the link I'll post it.

Edit: here it is. http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic22939.html?highlight=firing
