An '81 240D with "old style" glow plugs? I'm pretty sure that 1979 was the last year with series plugs. If the engine has the series style plugs, there may be more of a story to this car than the owner is aware of.

Has anyone actually searched for retrofit glow plugs for the pre-1980 engines lately? They aren't that easy to find these days, at least not if you want Bosch.
