Glow plug problem/mechanic recommendation in Victoria BC?

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with starting my Deli.

I went to start it up today & there was no glow plug "click". I tried starting it up & it turned over, but wouldn't fire up. It took bout 10 seconds of cranking her over before it sputtered a few times & eventually fired up.

Does anyone know if this sounds like a glow plug problem & if so, can anyone recommend a good mechanic in Victoria?

I would try the recommended troubleshooting mentioned in other posts, but I simply don't have the time with two very active children, or the mechanical know-how.

Thanks guys!

Hi explosive Abe, it sounds like you're on the right track with looking at the glow plug system. I take my van to Ray and Judith at Marigold Service on Burnside.

Ray and the guys have been working on my van since I've owned it (2009). They really know their stuff, prices are fair and its nice to support a "mom & pop" shop.

Give em a Google.

Colin.

Thanks for the recommendation Colin! I took my Deli there yesterday & they fixed me right up. Turns out it was the glow plug timer, everything is working exactly as it should now.
