Hi all
Had my 1972 series 3 diesel in the garage last week. MOT. New speedo cable, brakes cleaned up and a diesel leak sorted round the injector nearest the bulkhead.
Since I got it back - it's much slower to start. The amber "glow-plug" light still comes on, but the starter motor seems to need to turn over the engine for 5-10 secs before it fires. Thought it's likely to be a glow plug issue. Starts quickly once the engine's warm.
Any tips for a bit of diagnosis ?
Cheers
