Yep, as per Julians list, replace the glow plug relay.
Although I haven't done it yet,I don't have one of those accounts that
fills back up, I
would suggest replacing the glow plugs with the acg60's if I remember
right. No need to get
the extraction tool if you replace all the glow plugs with the ones that
don't swell. Check the
number, but I think that is right. I replaced one from the dealer and it
cost about $16,
but they are available elsewhere as well. Be carefull about the source
thogh since there are some
unscrupulous dealers out there.
