I tried starting my car today, but all it did was crank up and not start. The battery is fine, could it be the glow plugs? How can I tell if they are? Are these easy to replace?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

I had a similar problem with my 84 300D. It turned out that the fuel pump (from fuel tank to the injection pump) had to be replaced. However, the little I know tells me that this is only one of many possible causes for such behaviour.
All the best. David Rayment. |

Does the glow light act normally? If two of more of the glow plugs goes out or #1 burns out the light does work weird.

My 83 300cd (155K miles) had a starting problem that turned out to be the pre-glow circuit relay module, a $120 part that was simple to replace, however, this is just one of serveral possibilities.
