doblo cargo 2001 1.9 diesel 101000 miles.

right then, i bought this van knowing it had faults hence why it was cheap....

first off it wouldn't start, seller said it was the starter motor, turned out to be the main engine earth had broke, yay a cheap fix(y)

then i changed the disks & pads as they were way past there best before date.

so now i have this new problem,

i still havent fixed the earth, all i do is chuck a jump lead from battery to engine to start it, then disconnect and away i go. but when ever i rev either in neutral or gear the warning light flashers :eek: does anyone know why this is, is it earth related???

also after the heater plug light has gone out, i turn the key, she fires in to life but then the heater plug light will flash for around 10 secs, is this a sign of new plugs?

please help

Get the earth fixed, not only needed for starting but correct running, need to sort that first then see if problems persist, then deal with them.

I added a extra earth strap from the top of the engine to the battery and that sorted out the starting issues, as for the glow plug light not sure.
 
Glow plug light flashing means one or more glow plugs have had it.
