Hi, I've noticed that the amber glow plug light does not illuminate when I switch on the ignition? Is this a simple bulb replacement or is it something more in depth?

which injun do you have, 'cos my td4 glow plug only illuminates for a split second, even in the cold mornings we've been having. wouldn't worry too much as long as it starts ok. Wait till there's a frost on the bonnet and see if it comes on then. Even then, it would be for under a second as they heat up pretty damn quickly.
