so half the time i try to start my car the filiment in the salt shaker glows, then half the time it doesnt. i went out just today, i let it glow for a while, and then tried to start it; its started and then just turned off a second later. so i tried to glow it again, but it failed to glow. the odd thing is i still tried to start it and it started right up. with the inconsistancy of glowing though, i dont dare to drive it anywhere too far where it might sit for a while in the cold. i dont know what to do. i am having my dad go and get a filiment from another 240D that we know works. could that be the sole problem?
