My glow plug light started flashing today, I assume I need new plugs ?
How long can I leave it flashing? Will it still start or do I need to do it ASAP ?

Re: Glow plug light
You probably need a new break light switch! 
Seriously, no kidding, thats what the flashing glow plug light indicates.

Re: Glow plug light
Is that the orange light bulb light?? Mines just come on and also the number plate bulbs out replaced it but still no joy? Also the vans having trouble starting, could it be a glow plug?

No you've got the light bulb out warning on. Try the indicator bulbs. Mine play up now and then, just take out,wipe connection and put backSwell wrote:Is that the orange light bulb light??
