- It's definitely the glow plugs. That's why the car isn't starting.
- I can't change them in my employer's garage - it's too cold, too dark, my tool chest is more than 15 minutes away, and this afternoon I would have given my right leg for a 12mm deep socket wrench. With my cruddy tools (and cruddy technique) in the dark, it took me over an hour to remove one measly glow plug.
- My insurance covers towing!
Side note: we're probably going to become coop members - it turns out that members get a $20 per hour of mechanic time discount (!) for any work on cars. If you use more than 3.75 hours of mechanic time, the membership pays for itself.
(Thanks, Dad)
