Sounds like a glow plug issue... mine did the same (other than the flashing lights on the mirror) when I lost a plug. Actually... I think the car had a plug out when I bought it as one cylinder made a racket when it started until things warmed up. Since replacing the plugs, the car (when not too cold outside) starts beautifully and runs quietly.
Read a bit on the K-40... as I haven't had any issues with the car stalling out, I question if this is the issue.
