hello to you tooSWIFT AND BOLD -
Does the truck start OK? If so, its probably the bulb. If not, check the fuse. If its blown, check the plugs were fitted OK and not shorted - in that order

When the ignition is on, is the dash mounted digital clock working, on mine a fuse went that took out the clock and something else that is part of the glow plug heater system (it was located in the driver footwell RHS). Also check the massive glow plug fuse under the bonnet.
also as you are about to start (preheat) watch the dash, a little yellow coil symbol lights up for a fraction of a sec (glow plug symbol)...then listen for a loud click, then start.Last edited by Vultch; 27 June 2009, 14:39.__________________

Heater Plugs
Sorry . didn't introduce myself , just bought Surf, never driven one before , only bought i because, I tow a caravan and mpg is not really important as most days i do about 20 miles per day. Any way thanks for sugestions , she doesnt start well at all takes about 4/5 attempts and chucks Black smoke everywhere.Originally posted by adrianash View PostA J AshcroftComment

on mine the glow plug light, (little coil spring) on the left of the dash lights only for an instant as I turn the key to on, it then takes 15 seconds to "click", then its turn the key all the way and vroom vroom, away you go. If I try to start without the pre-heat its similar to yours but no black smoke just a single puff of bluish. HComment
