Problem Starting
I recently began having problems starting my car. I just changed the fuel filter valves which did not make a difference. What else can it be? The fuel pump seems to keep pumping and after cranking over for about a minute, it may start. It seems like its taking longer to start everytime. Could it be the Injector seals?

Injector seals, check for fuel in your engine oil. You may not find any but depending on mileage changing the seals may be needed. Have you purged the system properly. 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

leaky injector seals are easy to identify... you'll get a fairly large cloud of black smoke out of the back when it does eventually start 2013 Discovery 4 HSE Lux | 2001 Defender 90 TD5 | 2007 Prodrive RB320

fairly easy fix then

Pay the extra for genuine seals. They seem expensive but the quality is worth it Thumbs Up 2013 Discovery 4 HSE Lux | 2001 Defender 90 TD5 | 2007 Prodrive RB320
