Thanks Archie - in that case, let's hope it's not seen for a few weeks yet!

Still normal! Worry about it when it wont start. Even in the coldest of weathers I rarely saw mine for more than a couple of seconds. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

I must admit I don't see mine come on very often unless it it's very cold

They're not like the old cars - turn ignition on, wait 10 seconds until the glow plug light goes out and then turn the key. They've moved on a bit! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

I don't think I see my glow plug light until it's minus 3 or thereabouts....

Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France

FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.
