Have you checked the manual to see how the light and glowplugs work? On Peugeot diesels the glow plug light doesn't come on at all unless its really cold (minus something degrees).

Is this a 1.5 or 1.7 engine?.Either way the glow plugs and warning light should work from cold or semi warm as this is not a common rail diesel engine.

Glow plug relay failures aren't uncommon on these.

The glow plug relay and the dash warning light are controlled from the glow timer relay(7 pin).Check the connections here.There is also a coolant temp sensor in the water system that is part of the circuit.
