Hi Folks …

The car we are talking about is a 2003 Mondeo Diesel estate, 2.0 TDCI Zetec. It’s mileagy, with 152,000 miles on the clock. We live in Spain.

On the way to collect the kids from school this afternoon, I was driving through our town, and I suddenly either actually saw the glow plug light come on and start flashing, or I noticed that it was flashing. Either way, it had only been flashing for five minutes or so, tops.

As I was not driving fast – I was in a town – I continued to the school where I stopped and switched off. I had maybe 90 minutes to ait, so while I was waiting on two or three occasions I tried to re-create the problem.

Each time, I switched on the ignition, waited for the lights to go out and started the engine. Each time it worked perfectly, and no flashing glow plug light.

I monitored the light all the way home … It stayed off.

Anyone got any ideas what that was all about?
