C250TD Glow plug and abs lights - cost to repair?

[frstep]

A high mileage C250TD - a glow plug is probably failing (light stays on for a while after start) and an ABS sensor might be playing up. What are the lightly culprits? And what are the costs (or DIY pain) to fix?

Thanks,

F.

Next time you put the ignition to glow plugs, wait 30 seconds after the light goes out, then start your beast I garrentee the light will go out ! user proved it !

The Glow Plug light comes back on after starting to let you know that one or more of the glow plugs have failed. Have them tested and changed.

I had two glowplugs changed recently by S&R in Southport. They charged me £18 for the two and £35 labour.
It is supposed to be a straightforward DIY job but take care because it is easy to strip the socket heads apparently. There was a sticky about this job wasn't there?
