Wakey wakey when it comes to starting

My partner has been using the FF lately and she said when pressing the start button nothing happens. She is new to driving and sits there thinking have I done something wrong. Then about eight to ten seconds later the truck fired up.
I have noticed this also when using this weekend.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Truck is a 4.4 tdv8

Pressing down on pedal 👍
Calling it a truck is habit from past double cab pickups.

pressing the start button momentarily won't start it if the engine is cold...press for about 3/4 seconds works.. ... - .- -.

I've found that sometimes even with footbrake pressure , the car still says press the brake to start. One of those annoying "foibles" of JLR ownership. Also if you whack it straight into drive immediately after starting , it will often shut down again.

I'd say a short delay is normal, the diesel glow plugs are warming up before the engine is turned over. But 8 to 10 secs sounds longer than I get, even on cold mornings, so maybe a diagnostic check helpful? Only Range Rovers since 1988

Diddley, did you resolve this problem as mine does this also. Or anyone have any idea why it happens.

Mikey how do I tell if I have had the software update? Do you have to rely on the main dealers to get it done? 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE

It maybe due to the system waiting for the glow plugs to warm the engine. What doesn't kill you is just bidding it's time.
