Glow plugs? i guess they are like spark plugs for petrol cars? will check tonight. Yes the car cranks the engine over VRRRRRRRR but no VROEM at the endof it. only a few times through, not more than 7 seconds, never more than twice, the battery will be off then

both batteries make no difference, the r75 smallish one or the original willard bigger one, it dies after cranking
