Default Diesel starting problem

are you sure ?
even new diesels need thier plugs warmed first (and have a pigtail

Neighbour's newish-jag which is powered by some awesome twin-turbo Vee
diesel does not have a glowplug symbol. He was warned (by Jaguar) that
if he inadvertently fills it with petrol he must _under no
circumstances_ even unlock the vehicle. Apparently it _does_ have some
sort of preheat system, but it commences as soon as the doors are
unlocked, thus there is no embarrassing pause once you have jumped into
your sleek executive conveyance!
