You guys are lucky! The police here have radar detector detectors! And they are totally illegal in most states. They love hiding in bushes to catch people. Sorry, a little off topic there!

I never had a CEL for the glow plugs, just a rough idle on cold days. Mind you, when I say cold it's not that cold here. Never really below 0c.
