I'm a little disappointed in what I hearing about
Okay - I went ot look at it and play around a little. The Glow Plug Light
came on for about 5 sec with a click of the relay the first time I turned
the key to on - but never again. Doesn't seem to be glowing. Been sitting
out for about 6 months. Very little rust. Not in a place where it could
, is a timer and a fault indicator.
Regardless of light on or off, the glow plugs may still be glowing.
Owner's manual present? Service Records?

Okay - working through some of the problems on my 300DT purchased on
Saturday. What would cause a tach that works sometimes and doesn't others?
Suggestions? How about front wheel bearings? How hard are they to do?

when you are forced to by a tire on the side of the road it is also always
