Thanks Clan
Will that manifest itself in anyway with a MIL / glow plug light permanently on the dash ? or would I have to plug in my diagnostic scanner to find out ?
While I don't (currently) have any issues at all with the way my D5 starts, would it be prudent to just change my 11 year old / 149K miles old glow plugs, in the name of preventative maintenance ?
