perfect...yeah, got the hexagonal thing attached to the manifold with the wire sticking out. apologies for my lack of good terminology! I'll take it off and clean it out before ordering a new one, in case it's just all sooty.

So...what was the consensus about the disco dome light effect, in fact? I think mine (during a full glow plug cycle, I wait until I hear the relay "thunk") does two blinks on the dome, then one blink on the seatbelt warning, then repeat until I actually engage the starter motor (after I hear the "thunk"). And it doesn't do it every single time...
