Cant attach glow plug to V3S
So I found a V3S, it was missing a glow plug. After hours of searching, I found one, came back to the V3S to attach it. I tried dragging it to its parts slot, it just went into its inventory, then I tried holding it and looking at the spot that says "ATTACH GLOW PLUG" and clicking the use key, it just went into its inventory. So IDK how to get this thing installed, how do I do this?

P.S. before anyone says "You dont need a glow plug to crank a V3S" yes you do, it requires a glow plug as of the latest patch.

Hmm, didn't drive a truck tonight. Will see if I can find one. Are you sure it needs a glow plug? Where does it say so? I didn't see that in the notes. I bet it doesn't. Currently, vehicles at their spawn points are ready to run.

I can confirm that vehicles at their spawn are not ready to run. I just found a Sedan at its spawn that lacked a spark plug. And bet all you want, the V3S will not run without a glow plug.

Well, I haven't seen any vehicles that don't run unless they are messed with. Other players do not always like the fact that the vehicles exist and will damage them or remove something that will keep them from running.

When you go up to a vehicle, your first indication that something is wrong is when it will let you get in without opening the door.

That means that the vehicle has hit something hard and is damaged, in some cases it may drive, but in most you will find a ruined battery and other items ruined. I went through 3 trucks yesterday, hit a rock fence in one, a hidden map glitch in another, (common out west with new terrain), and a glitch into a tree in another.

My friend and I have the spawns memorized as that is where you will generally find drivable vehicles, not those that are beside the road, in a ditch, etc. which usually means that something is probably ruined. Take a match to them so they will respawn.

Spawn points are marked on izurvive.com
