Has anyone got a spare cold start relay they could let me have?

If so please send me a personal message

I did not know that there was a relay for the cold start device. Isn't it mechanical? If you mean a glow plug relay I can probably put my hands on one.

That's the thing....glow plug relay....if you have a spare that would be lovely. Have the glowplugs wired to a switch and a 100 amp relay at the moment and have no problems but didn't get round to wiring a timer in and my wife would like the whole thing working on the key as normal, and it is probably just easiest to get the proper thing!

Can you let me know how much?

Oh, and can you mark the heavy duty battery connection - 10 mm nut - if you swap that and the glow plug connection it seems to blow the unit ....don't ask me how I know......! Could just have been a duff unit, I'll never know, it was a few quid from a scrappy so could have been faulty.
