Really?! My 240D is as loud as a Mack truck

The dash indicator is the first thing in the glow plug series, if its got a bad connection, that'll stop the flow of current. Try checking for 12v on the leads of the indicator. You can unscrew the salt shaker cap and then use a small screw driver to loosen the collars for the two legs of the indicator, then the indicator pulls straight out. I'll post the wiring schematic from the CD.

The $20 cd shop manual is great. PM me your email address and I'll send you the part pertaining to the glow plugs to give you a taste of the manual.

Also, am I understanding you correctly that there are TWO knobs involved with starting your car? Mine has the one gorilla knob on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. Did you say you have another on the center console? The manual only mentions the one on the dash, even for 615 engines.

Well, good luck, and if you want that section of the manual, send me your email.
