Handy with a video ?

Thanks UP. That explains why. It never gets to 2deg C here ...

I found it rather strange ... hey! ... what's that light ... oh, the glowplugs ... don't usually notice it, unless like in your video, it's ON for more than a sec' or two.

glowplugs??

so they need help to start in the cold--
and dont last as long in the very cold--
but good in the deserts.

If I had a dash with that many lights to worry about I wouldn't drive it...

OH hang on series and defenders don't, do they

sorry back in the box

Looking at your avatar I should let you know that Darwin had 1000mm of rain in the past week.

Well I see on the news the devastation thats occured, and I feel for anyone who has lost loved ones or property.......

But it must add some fun when taking the truck for a swim in places ...

I don't get anywhere near that many on startup, never get chimes either. Is it possible that the chimer is disconnected? (location?).

Being V8 not going to get glow plugs, don't have SLS either.

What I do get, handbrake works intemittently, SRS, HDC/TC/ABS, oil & batt, M & S, sbelt.

What doesn't appear at at startup. CDL, works but (have internals and switch in tfr, also has been flickering on intemittently but had some wiring hanging on fnt tshaft), trailer,

What is the: Bottom row centre, also top right section, top row centre, second row right & bottom row right? These don't appear either.

That orange light in the fuel gauge is faulty, comes on at startup and visits all too regularly. Often in conjunction with large amounts of money disappearing from my wallet.

As you said them

ACE (active cornering Enhancement)
SLS (offroad mode for Air suspension)
Fuel Filter Water sensor (diesel only)
Overtemp Warning (auto box)

Chimes (seatbelt warning) was turned on by me to "try" to remind me to wear it, got in bad habit of not doing so. Need a diagnostic tool to do it.

The CDL does not normally appear on startup, it has no self test function, I just started the car with it engaged to show the light more than anything else.

Hope that helps.

Yep - reminded me I have no chimes as I turned the annoying thing off.

That's got to be a record.

Mine's lucky to last 2 sec's with a cold engine.

What was the outside temp' when you did the video ?

Mine (glow plug lights) last ages and I live in a relatively warm spot. Does not seem to matter if warm or cold. Is it because my one is an early TD5 , did later ones get new super dooper fast action glow plugs? I hardly ever wait for the light to go out as always starts easy as even when frosty outside.
