I just purchased this car last week and it has been running fine, yesterday a problem developed, the glow plug lamp stays on all the time. Wife took it to the store- maybe 15 minute ride and the car wouldnt start. I jump it and it did start but when I got it home it wouldnt start again. I think the plugs may actually be staying on and drawing so much power that the battery (new) runs down.
Any pointers as to problem appreciated.

Great site!
