Either the bulb is blown or you have a dead glow plug. If it comes on
AFTER you start, you have more than one dead glow plug.

COMAND should be fine, just be nice too it and try to avoid things like

I wasn't offended; I took it well.
My only complaint with the ACC in the W124 is that the seat take
forever to cool down on hot days. The car is cool, the fan speed has
dropped, and I'm roasting since the seat feels like it has seat
heaters stuck on. Takes until I get home to get comfortable. Not so
