series glow plugs

It was simple!

A stray earth wire (the same colour as the glow plugs wiring) was touching the glowplug near the radiator.

NRMA must have hooked it on.

I disconnected it, and it started after a 20 sec glow. It's cold in the mornings up here!

I've no idea what that earth is doing. I'll tape it up later today.

thanks folks!

I guess that expains the smoke!
Glad it's coming together for you. Nothing worse than a seemingly endless series of problems.
