My grandson just bought it the other day and now the glow light does not come on the dash. It turns over good but no glow light to start it. Fuse? Plugs? Please help.

"Glow light". Glow plug indicator, maybe? Check the fuel tank; make sure regular gas wasn't introduced. In my experience, the glow plugs on the older MB diesel models don't last forever. I don't have any service info for this car, so check under the hood for the maxi-fuse/relay box near the driver front of the vehicle. Look for a relay/fuse labeled 'glow plug'. Test it.
