Ahhhhhh!
It's minus 3. Not really that cold...but my old gal, 2005 disco, won't start.
I let the glow plug light go out but it just turns over.
But....I poured some hot water on a senser..as per this YouTube video..
at it started straight away...
What do i do now? What sensor is this ??
I do have a eberspacher but I don't think it works.
Any pointers would be grateful.

It probably means your glowplugs have failed. But they are very expensive to change as they can snap.
Apparently fitting a 5K resistor across the sensor is the same an pouring water on the sensor....

don't waste your time reading those 4 pages and buying expensive test equipment (and a flawed test method)
just read this:
