Thanks...I have been pretty sure one plug has been bad (or going) for a while...a little rough on initial startup with white smoke that clears up within two to three minutes after warming up, but until today, the light still actually worked.

Where is the glow relay??...I'm by nature a W123 diesel guy, so I'm a virgin with W124 problems!
