[gavmann]

thanks tony im new to this mark of vehicle will post pics as soon as poss could you let me know if im assuming im starting it right as when i turn ignition on there is no gloplug warning light but a buzzer goes on after approx 20 secs

[TonyN]

Yeah, you should get a light on the dash, but the buzzer is a good way of timing it. If it starts reasonably quickly it's probably just a bulb on dash blown, but you could just check easily with a multimeter on the glow plugs just to be sure they are getting power.

Vince (Bushwhacker), being in S Wales as well, is a lot nearer than Tony. I'm sure Tony wouldn't mind me saying that!

Give it a bit and Vince will probably reply here.
