Heater, temp guage and starter warming lights

Post by Tommy000 »

hi, a few issues that have come to light. i have an 82 water cooled, 1.9 TD [conversion] T25 [canadian/US import] Today, my heater was working until i stopped for about 10 minutes. there was a minor burning smell but assumed this was due to not being used for a few months. is there anything i can do to check what this might be? i assume it might be the blower and from reading various sources it looks like i should put this into a garage to be fixed. please advise.

recently, the yellow glow plugs light lighly flashes at start up. Berti starts without issue, both from cold and warm but want to check this light flashing is not a sign of something else.

finally, the temp guage failed on me and i was wondering if the individual part can be replaced and if so, can a DIY mechanic take on this job.

thanks muchly.
