I just got a 'click' after the cold start message and then nothing else, its like the starter motor was sticking.

-10 this morning here and it took 8 attempts to start, despite using my 'new' starting method - so thre's another theory out of the window It was booked to go back into the dealer today, but they had a burst pipe over the weekend and had no water or power today, so booking cancelled. I've decided to live with it over Christmas; it does start in the end and there is always LR Assist to fall back on if all else fails. Have booked it in again on 4th Jan. 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. Gone: TDV8 HSE; Zermatt silver/ebony, 19" off road alloys, active diff, particle filter, tow pack (it was fun) BMW 730D SE (great car, sadly missed). Ford Focus RS mk2, Ultimate green, lux pack 2, bluetooth. The start of my mid-life crisis. IN THE GARAGE: BMW i8 - the mid-life crisis continues and it's great fun. |

Just a quick update (& hopefully the final post on this subject). Had the RRS back from the stealer today, after 3 days in their workshop. Replaced a glowplug relay and they say they're 'confident the problem is solved' - we shall see Also replaced the front discs (vibration under braking), front antiroll bar bushes (suspension knocking) and cleaned the parking brake (sticking on). All this on a vehicle that's done less than 9k miles.

I have exactly the same issue as the OP, did the new glow plug relay fix the issue?

The problem never arose again, but I never really got the chance to try it in really cold weather again either - when I finally got the vehicle back, the very cold snap had finished (if you recall, the winter of 2010/11 had an incredibly cold period -15 degrees C at times IIRC). Sorry if that's not very helpful. Good luck! 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.

Sorry, no. The car was under warranty at the time and all of the work was carried out by the dealer. 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 changed to a different type of battery that maintains 12v under load and its solved the problem. went from a numax 100Ah 1000CCA to a 68Ah, 1500PCCA Oddyssy - cold start problem now solved.
