Glow Plugs
I have a diesel VW as most of you will know, with me asking repeated questions about it! Just another quick one, which I've forgotten to mention in previous naggings.
I always try to remember to allow the glow plug light to extinguish before starting the engine, which is only a second or so. I have occasionally forgotten.
Will it do the car any harm in the long term if I forget? I had a Seat Leon company car a few years ago that became hard to start (same engine) but that car had a hard life in general!

Hi, you can either get off EBay or your local Motor Spares shop, DO NOT go to the dealers unless you have plenty of money lol, it's a while since I had a dev car but as of now the wife has a 206 derv. You will be in the region of £40+ a set of 4. but as said, if they start to go, your indicator will be, when the Orange light goes out & you try to start the car it will obviously take longer than usual.
