Intermittent starting problem - Land Rover Forums

I have a 2006 LR3 HSE and have recently been having issues starting the engine. It happens randomly but seems to happen in the morning. I turn the key and the power on the dash comes on but the engine doesn't start. After a few tries the engine eventually starts but one time it took repeated tries with no luck, waited 15 mins, and then it started. The dealer checked it out and couldn't find any problems because it started for them every time. Anyone else aware of this issue?

I'm suprised no one answered you on this, anyway mine is having the same problem now but its accompanied by the reduced engine performance message and a check engine light. After researching this problem on other forums everyone says its possibly a battery issue so I'm getting my battery checked and possibly replaced. Will update when and if the new battery fixes the problem.
