After using the primer pump a few times the filter was completely full. I have moved on to examining the glow plugs and of course, there are more questions and confusion considering I drove the car about 30 miles before I could no longer start the vehicle. Can anyone suggest the following:

-How to confirm if my vehicle has always been 12V. There is no evidence of another battery tray on the passenger side. All lights seems to work properly. The only noticibly dim light is one for the gauges at night
-Proper glow plugs to use, notice one of the plugs does not match the others.
-Function of the small dash mounted screen to the left of the steering column ( glow plug indicator?)
-Can my fuel filler cap be part of the cause?
-how to check if the DAC is operating properly

Any help is greatly appreciated.


I am including pictures in this post and am open to any suggestions.

Most likely air in the injector lines and pump.
Ebay is a good place for glow plugs. A lot of us use HKT brand or NGK as they are much cheaper and easier to get than Denso. As long as a plug is the same length and voltage it probably wont hurt but its best if they are replaced as a set.
A lot of us deal with this seller TOYOTA LANDCRUISER 3B ENGINE GLOW PLUG SET (4) - eBay, Other Car Parts, Accessories, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 26-Apr-08 18:33:32 AEST)

The 12 volt is easier to trouble shoot for most owners.

Fuel filler cap is easy to check by removing it,but I doubt it is the problem.
