2000 defender. 150k clock. Runs well, burns a bit of oil (2 or 3 litres between changes), small amount of smoke under hard throttle. Has had one injector replaced, others were worn.
In this chilly weather, she takes a fair few turns before starting. Has been this way for a number of years. I replaced all the glow plugs last summer, and it's no different to start. Plugs are working, as you soon find out if you try to start without heating.
Battery is good. Not sure about starter. Would a fresh one with more speed make a difference? Fuel pressure?
