[Samalex]

can anyone help off this week so any time would suit and hopefully the car will start
car lay for 8 days and when I jumped in to start the glow plug light never came on after loads of tries it eventually came on.

Had a few quirky things happen in last few weeks

PD or non PD engine? Check in the fuse box for a relay with 109 printed on it, if you have it it's a very common one for failing and one of the main symptoms is no glow plug light. You could try pulling it out and giving it a tap on the ground a couple of times then plug it back in, it's not a total cure but it's got me going a couple of times now.


Failing that try this guy.

No relay in the fuse box looks like its under the dash will look in the morning thanks for the info

Yeh it should be in the interior fuse box, it's the relay for the ecu etc so if the glowplug light doesn't come on the engine just cranks and cranks but wont start.
