:Fuse,
:Faulty relay,
:Broken wire,/earth,

perhaps,

best bet wouid be get Multimeter out,
or use a 12v bulb with wires on to check whats getting a feed and what isnt,

sorry not much help

If your imob light is going out ok,

id Guess on the Glow plug relay, (Not sure if there a double relay or not )
iirc, theres away of By passing it to check,

Jasper5 is the chap to ask on this ithink,
not seen him on the forum for abit tho :?


(Have you tried putting a jump lead on the Negative post of the battery and putting other end on a good earthing point on the engine, to rule out bad/broken earth strap ? )

Pleased to report "Alice" is now running, we cant figure exactly what it was but my mechanic guy Hans started with the fuse box in engine bay and all of a sudden glow light is back and she starts .
Hes methodical so it was check every fuse by pull ,visual inspection , replace . it seems to be one that that was for "double relay" ?? but so far "touch wood " its all good , but there was definitely no power to plugs before .

Just the blower to figure out now !
