Cheers Kwik,
Just checked with multimeter: glow plugs are always heated for 15-20 seconds, the pre-heat lamp does not turn on on instrument panel.
If it ever turns on, stays for just a couple of seconds - irregular. I tested the lamp wire from the glow-plug relay box, and it is dead from there.
But the glowplugs apparently are heated regardless.
So the solution is on a cold day keep ignition on for 20seconds and repeat several times.
Wonder if replacing relay box would solve instrument panel LED behaviour..
Cheers,
