Thanks for that Topdown, car goes in tomorrow and i am expecting to having to replace all the glow plugs and fit a new glow plug relay. Happy days a?

Perish the thought !!!

Yup Pete, my dash glow light goes out pretty quickly so not much to worry about but i am having it checked out on Wednesday so will see what crops up. I just find that any dash light needs sorting but i am just an old natter can.

Thanks for your comments,appreciated.

Yup, i intend to get a set fitted, cannot complain because this car has been absolutely brilliant, mind you i have looked after it.

It's going in on Wednesday, i have two good boys who know their stuff so i shall let them have a look. I shall update my thread on any developments.

Thanks for that Doc. I shall get it fixed though.

Thanks for that Larkone, getting it in for a diagnostic check on wednesday but i suspect you have hit the nail on the head.

Hi all, i have a 2003 ML270 cdti and i have the glow plug light coming on and staying on for about half a mile. This happens everytime i start the engine wether or it is hot or cold.

LOL x 10 :bannana:

Most likely it is the glow plug module then??

Absolutely correct, common issue, O rings on the common rail fuel line and on the High pressure pump harden after time and crack allowing the fuel to drain back. Had the same issue on my ML270 so changed them all. Cheap as chips and only took me a couple of hours ( incl.tea breaks) End of...

Had the same issue on my ML so changed the 5 'O' rings on the fuel line and the 4 on the HP pump. Sorted.

Yup, i am old enough to remember when the 'Road Fund Licence' was paid by those who use the roads to maintain/repair the roads. Unfortunately now it appears to be another 'back door tax' for the Government coffers under the prefix of emissions and s*d the state of the roads.

I'll just get my coat.

Absolutely right, i must be getting a bit paranoid on this subject and apologise for a repetitive thread.
