Nope, not a really big deal. We don't have glow plugs. We have a toaster oven!

I only use mine

in the morning for the first crank of the day, other than that, never... We dont have plugs like smokindog said, we have grid heaters... which are far more effective...

It just makes it easier to start. If it doesn't start immediately though, the heater cycle will be interrupted so the heaters will go off. Turn the key off and then back on to re-start the heater cycle.
