Yank needs some help...

[galaxie500_guy]

Hello All,
I recently purchased an "M" reg 3.0TD to get me through the next three years while I'm stationed here and as this vehicle isn't available in the US and I didn't get an owners manuel with it I'm lost as to where the glowplug indicator is. I'm used to seeing an indicator that looks like coil loops in diesel trucks in the states but nothing like that comes on when I first turn the key...I wait about 30 seconds before I hit the starter.
After everyone finishes ROTFLYAO your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

It only stays on for about 2-3 secs, its on the left hand side, first light on the left under the temp guage.

Asked the same question a couple of weeks back, if your trucks anything like mine you'll be lucky to spot it, as I turn on the ignition mine flashes for about a1/10 of a second, I wait about 15 - 20 seconds, hear a click from the passenger side dash, full turn the key and the truck starts immediately, hope this helps.

Mines like that too. As my truck starts just fine from cold with 50/50 veg I've not bothered looking into if this is a problem.

Mine's the same, although I turn the key on mine as soon as the light's gone out and (touch wood) it starts immediately every time.
