if youre smelling antifreeze then its a sign that the heater core may be leaking..

If all the controls are set properly, I'd look for a faulty thermostat as the first choice before looking at more costly fixes. FIRST, I'd check the engine thermostat to be sure it's closing and allowing the coolant to heat up to a proper temperature. What's the temperature of your engine after five or ten minutes of running? Still showing cold on the gauge? If so, your problem may be as simple as a bad thermostat which can be replaced easily and relatively cheaply. If the thermostat stays open in cold weather, the engine won't heat the coolant properly and you won''t get warm air, plus your engine will lose efficiency and fuel mileage. If that's not the problem, I'd check the connections where the hoses go to the heater core to be sure they are delivering hot coolant. Then the controls to assure they are opening the heater valve. Also, you could have a plugged heater core. How does the coolant look? Normally it's good for 100K miles but if it looks dirty or really rusty, then you may have a problem. The coolant is a light reddish brown but should not be dark brown. The radiator and heater core may need a profesional flushing. I hope this helps. Good luck!

what fuel is it.

I have the same problem that got worse. Now the radio is not working at all after pulling the fuse to inspect it. In going around I understand that the Bluetooth module could be the culprit. I went to the dealer they told me that there is no codes for the radio.

Official LRNA solution: buy a new module. I will be doing this tomorrow. I have been through this comprehensively with LR Dallas and LRNA. There may well have been other modules installed depending on when the Rover was built, but mine is not flashable. BTW, when plugged in, the dealer computer checks your Rover for updated software, which is downloaded from LRNA every night.

NEEDS A NEW STARTER OR MORE LIKELY ONLY A SOLENOID

It does have a key slot think its behind the right side of the door handle and you pull the plastic cover off
