I have a 1983 300 CD
ON cold days, she has a tough time starting. I wait for the glow plug indicator to go out, then try to start it and usually get no response. On the second or third try I don't wait for the glow plug indicator to go out then I can get it to start. Is this normal or is there anything that I can do to alleviate this problem?
thanks for your reply

Change your GLOW PLUGS !!! This will guarranty an easier start up in cold temps.
This has always worked for me.
