Ford Focus warning lights
Five weeks ago the Glow Plug warning light came on when driving my Ford Focus.
I stopped the car, turned off the engine, waited a few seconds, then re-started the engine and all was OK until yesterday.
Driving at 65mph the engine suddenly felt hesitant and both the glow plug and engine warning lights came on.
Again, I stopped the car and tuned off engine for a few seconds. After re-staring engine all seemed OK and we finished our short jorney. The car has done about 57,000 miles.
What do you suggest?

It could be that you have a fault with the glow plugs, however I would suggest that you get the engine on a diagnostic check, which should then confirm what the problem is.

I have a 2003 diesel Renault Clio 1.9. The engine turns over, but there is no ignition. There is a strange whirring noise coming from the engine bay. So far I've discovered that it isn't the battery, there...
