    yeh - it will show the spanner on every start to tell you you have a stored fault.

    these will still start without the glow plugs...

    Im in Ashford Middlesex if you want the codes read and possible plugs replaced?

    Will it cause any other probs if I just leave it for now. Just thinking if you was still interested in doing my cambelt we could just leave it till then. Hopefully this month

    Hey - wont cause any issue mate..

    Any yes - can do the glow plugs at the same time as the cam belt.. Approx £40 for a full set of 4 genuine VX plugs I seem to recall.

    Let me know when you want to do it?

    Try turning the key a few times before starting the motor, this will bring the plugs on for longer for now untill you get chance to replace them

    Bought a contitech drive belt from ecp a couple of weeks ago as they were in the sale , for when the cambelt gets done.Do you think a vx one would be better, and forget this one, it was only a tenner so no big deal
