Have you checked for:
- a rolled up copy of The Sun on the dashboard
- MacDonalds wrappers in the footwell
- The words "I wish my Girlfriend was this dirty" written in the dirt on the back
- A note on the windscreen saying "Working at Number 15. If in your way, honk!"
- 4 mismatched tyres, 2 of which are worn beyond the legal limit

Any, or all of these could indicate that you accidentally drove a transit van away by mistake. :D

Is it suffering from any other symptoms, rough running, poor fuel economy, etc...
What mileage has it done?
When does it sound like a transit, at idle or when driving along as well?

For how long does the glow plug light stay on when started? If for several seconds, then it can be a temperature sensor.

Any other symptoms (inc. fuels consumptions etc.)?
