Hi Sergio
Welcome to the club, you'r english is fine. Your problem could be a bad connection on the cold start relay, or that the system is not working. To test, connect a voltmeter between one of the glow plug connections and earth on the engine or chassis, you should have a reading of 12 volts when you turn the key into the 'glow plug' positition which should last for 10 or 15 seconds.

Hi Sergio
The duration of the lamp does vary, but it always makes an appearance when I turn the ignition on. If it's warm and I am restarting quickly after turning off, it may only appear for a second or so. If I may add a suggestion to Peter's -- it could be the bulb that's gone. Mike. -------------------- XM 2.5VSX Estate RP 7185
