Hello,

Does anyone have a wiring diagram / know what the wires going into the glowplug relay are?

I see two heavy duty wires for the glow plug circuit and then four other wires, I was expecting two.

All of this is to wire up a manual override - the cranking and cloud of smoke when it fires is getting beyond comical :-)

what colour smoke is it?

if it has trouble starting start by checking leak off pipes,ecu normally controls glow plug useage

Try parking it down hill and don't let the fuel drop below 1/4 of a tank. If that help you have an air leak in the fuel supply

It's definitely not the fuel system, all pipework is good, filter is less than a year old and there is a hand pump fitted after the filter with a one way valve which I've used to prime for a couple of weeks without any change.

As an example, it was 9C this morning and the glow plugs came on for a second, gave it three cycles and it started a treat, coming home, it was warmer and it took a good 5 seconds of cranking with no glow plugs.
