GLS is essentially the same concept with more power, a better ride, more comfort & better reliability.
Downside? Mercedes maintenance makes JLR look economical and the fuel consumption is horrid.

It seems to me that the starter isn’t trying to turn the flywheel. It’s like the starter gets power but doesn’t actually try to move.
Hard to explain, I have a video but no method to post.
Jumping the starter relay gets it to click but it’s not moving the flywheel.
Almost like it doesn’t have enough juice to move it.
I can turn the crank by hand though so I know it’s not locked up.
Good news is, it’s most likely electrical. Put a socket on the crank pulley and it turns easily.
Starter works independently, jumped it with straight 12v B4 install
I’m at 170k miles and it’s a Houston truck so 0 road salt. Loved here it’s whole life, commuted to & from home/school/office by 1st owner. I’m the 2nd owner.
My list:
Reman engine
Radiator
All cooling system hoses
Thermostat
Water pump
Front & rear crossovers
Spark plugs
PCV valves
New bolts to reattach front driveshaft
Front air struts (rear in my garage for when they fail)
Misc bushings
Front bearing/hubs
Soon to be front CV axles

Interesting. Mine def has the stiff brake pedal but I can’t get it to go soft.
Hopefully the starter fixes it so I can sell this POS. These things are junk. I’ve never owned a vehicle with so many issues and errors, including two Ferraris.
Well, todays LR adventure is a starting issue.
I drive the Rover on Sunday and parked it in the drive. Went to start it yesterday and all I got was a relay click. Battery reading was around 12.5 per GAP which was low IMO so I pulled it this afternoon and had it tested at AutoZone.
Tested...
