The engine cranks but will not fire, fired once after i broke down for a very short period of time with not response from throttle and very rough. The pipe circled in red is the one with a split in it which i am guessing is a coolant pipe. The green circled pipe is fitted incorrectly which is where the oil is coming from. Does any of this give any reasoning for why it wont fire up? Hi the red circled pipe is a coolant pipe the other green circled pipe is a turbo boost pipe which if leaking/split will make the car run like a bag of nails. Steve.

Very interesting Steve. I was minded to make a similar comment on the validity of the battery test. A family member had a JLR vehicle from new, and when it was 3 months out of warranty, the stop/start stopped working! Two battery tests with sophisticated testing equipment showed the battery to be serviceable. The vehicle then went to a well respected local JLR independent who tested it on JLR diagnostics, and it failed the cold cranking current parameter - even though the car always started without issue. Rather sceptically, we renewed the battery with the equivalent Varta, and hey presto, all was well again. Kind regards, Gareth.
