GQ Cold start problems

Post by Burdy »

Ive recently bought a 1994 GQ TD42 ute and noticed when its cold its hard to start and the glow light doesnt light up on the dash and the relay doesnt click in,ive checked all fuses none are blown so im thinking its the glow plug relay gone.
any help is greatly appreciated

Some cars need glowing twice.when.they get older as well so maybe turn key to on for 5 seconds then off and repeat before.starting. if the relays working that is
