 |

Times i read about a coil light that has to go out before starting ya engine, summink to do with the glow plugs having to heat up i think. I've even commented that i aint got one  Well *beep* me if after  2 years it suddenly lights up. Came on for a couple of days and i aint seen it again since |

Sounds like a loose connection somewhere, but as long as everything works OK and it starts without too much effort... and you're not bothered about it... I wouldn't worry too much!  |

On my old Mk 1 (2.5 of course) there was no light but you heard the relays drop out - after second relay dropped out you turned the key and she never failed to start!
(Until the engine seized - before one of you lot said it!!)
