Dear All,
I have a 2011 range rover evoke dynamic which does not run well when started up even when warm, I believe it could be the glow plugs. Could someone please tell me is this a job I could do myself at home or not?
Would I need special sockets et cetera and also how much time will it take.
kind regards.
Allan

Agree glow plugs only work at start up.
Firstly get a code read of any issues and when was the fuel filter last changed?

I appreciate both feedback advice and I will definitely change the fuel filter which hasn’t been changed for years and have the codes checked

Depending on what the codes say, maybe run some additive to the fuel to clean. I had a sticky EGR valve on another car that caused it to run roughly and hesitate on acceleration. A dose of Wynns cleared it up!

Thanks for your advice I will buy some tomorrow; fingers crossed
