My 240D has been stranded in a parking lot for a couple days since my son couldn't start it during a recent cold snap. It had warmed up a bit yesterday so I tried to start it with a little jumper assist. I ran it through a couple glow cycles, then tried to start, with no success. I think I tried that one more time. Then the third time I tried to cycle the glow plugs, they didn't glow. No starting success, so I left for the night.

It was warmer today, so I went back again and no glow. I hoped maybe it was the glow plug fuse, but I checked that and the fuse seemed intact. The pre-glow light on the dash does not come on.

What do I do next to diagnose the problem? (These are old style glow plugs wired in series)

Also, can a 240D with auto trans be towed a short distance (a couple blocks) at slow speeds with the wheels down? I need to get the car out of the lot pretty soon.
