flashing glow plug light

Postby Rikfrontera on Tue Apr 08, 2008 1:36 pm

After breaking a fuel pipe connector..repairing it,bleeding the fuel and finally starting it again I get a flashing glow plug light for up to a min before it goes out.
This morning it was really hard to start, eventually she did and probably will the rest of the day but I bet in the morning its the same problem..thats if she even starts at all.
NEW GLOW PLUGS? or some other fault caused by the fuel pipe breakage?
I did still start the engine and ran it to the breakers with the broken fuel line plugged :oops: do you think this damaged or cooked the glowplug? :cry:

Hi mate Just had a nasty thought... yes at 2.30am.... While previously repairing a broken fuel pipe connector that I heavy handedly broke :oops:
I also decided to unplug an then fasten the fuel filter heating element temperature switch :oops: Looking in the haynes it sez to disconnect the neg terminal on the battery before doing so...Which I hadn't. :oops: The worst thing is I had no need to undo the switch in the first place.. :!:
Could this be the cause of the faulty struggled start and also flashing glowplug light once started :?:
Im wondering if i've done a fuse or relay..... instead of actually killing one of the glowplugs itself. :oops:
