Warning Light

[raymac]

The missus told me that yesterday the glowplug light came on as she was driving ,so she pulled over turned

 

the engine off restarted and all was well, i recall this happening to me about 3 months ago and the same

 

happened when i switched off :lol: any ideas as to what it could be or is it not worth worrying about

 

as the light does not come back on straight away?

glow plug light can signify several faults! most common seems to be brake light switch failure or MAF failure in some cases! hit the search engine for more details!

Have an idea this could be down to the aux heater not working all of a sudden,changed glowplug about 4/6 weeks ago and it was firing up nicely with no smoke or unburnt diesel smells now since the missus told me about the warning light i have noticed it is not kicking in even when the temp is in the minus bracket when previous it would kick in at 8/9c , any ideas? have checked search engine for fuse location and found one stating possibly fuse no12 ,but that is fine any ideas where fuse may be.thanks in advance :rolleyes:
