You need some 2T oil in that - smooth it out a bit  Freelander 2 TD4 Auto, SE, Narvik Black, Alpaca full leather, Rear Headrest Entertainment System, 6 CD, 18 HSE Wheels, Privicy tints

Wasn’t parked next to a RRS during the night by any chance  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

Dare I say that you might need to add some 2 stroke oil,

All i can think of is leaking vacuum hose, temperature sensor/connection or throttle valve sensor/connection

only happened this morning, and no other time i've been out in the car

I guess i'll have to monitor cold morning starts and a trip to the dealer if it continues  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Im with the others npinks, really think you need some 2 stroke oil in your tank...
It is well known that adding this can help sort out revving problems.....Probably

Used to be called engine 'hunting' (when I used to get my hands dirty for a living )
Tried a quick google for you and some say injectors, lambda sensor/cold start sensor but most say c p fuel i.e supermarket but I know you don't use that (Or I thought you didn't ).
Ours hasn't run for two days and took about 3 seconds to fire up after pressing start earlier this morning (Shell fuel saver on test )

Last 4 tank fuels have been Shell, the last one been VPOwer Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Do you know what fair you will be selling it at npinks....... save a bottle for me.!!

looks too rhythmic to be hunting... it looks to me like its coming from the ecu... i.e. the black box is telling it to do that! It might be some weird LR way of telling you, you have a fault with something.... I seem to remember my dad had a similar thing with the new micra some years ago, the mechanics were baffled until some japanese computer boff said that it was an error with the throttle pedal  Freelander 2 TD4 Auto, SE, Narvik Black, Alpaca full leather, Rear Headrest Entertainment System, 6 CD, 18 HSE Wheels, Privicy tints

I'm going to see what happens over the next cold spell

Doesn't seem right but after been stood all night etc might by a LR characteristic  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Mine did that once when I started in winter and was cleaning the snow off.

It sounded like an old diesel truck ticking over with a louder rev every 20 or so.

Hasn't happened again

Nigel,
I'm with you regarding oil added to the tank.
Your motor should run fine no matter what; no magic potion will correct the problem.

A trip to the dealer methinks
