    Where to start!?

    stopping is more important than going. a truck without an engine can go( get it to the top of a long steep grade and give her a push) but if you can't make a safe emergency stop you're in a world of hurt. highdesertranger

    Long cranking issue

    the glow plugs light not illuminating when the engine is warm is normal. however I would go with a totally manual system, much more reliable. for the long crank times it sounds like you have air in the fuel system. take a piece of clear fuel line like motorcycles use. replace the return...

    Push the brakes and the hazards light up (solid)

    wait a second. isn't it normal for the lights to go solid when you step on the brakes. on vehicles with separate circuits and bulbs for the blinkers and brakes they will still flash. but when the stop and turn share the same circuit and bulb filament they turn solid. highdesertranger
