sounds like the glow plug relay may be faulty?also could be faults in glow plugs also.if it lights up on start again then goes out should be ok to drive.you could also put a test light from earth to top of glow plug when running if it does not light you def aint got power to plugs then u r ok to go/that gives you peace of mind

Glow plug light is a diagnostic indicator. Do a search on here & you will find a list of what the number of flashes signify.
