My 240D with 253K logged, starts with 1 glow in temps in the upper teens, with just 1-2 second crank

however my winter car with 224K LOgged, usually is a real hassel to start. it will start first but only run for a couple seconds then die. so if i then start it before the glow light goes off it will run a little longer, b/c the glow plugs are still on. I think it still has the old relay in it, not the updated one that makes the GP's stay on for like 30 Seconds after. ANyways, this starting will continue till it decieds it wants to run, or one i get it running i shoot the RPM's up to 1K. then it will be fine
