Glow plug light sorted!
Had a issue where i would start the car 1st thing from cold and the glow plug light would come on and go out like normal, but then re apear moments later.
After Having the glow plugs replaced with Oe equiv Beru ones she still had the same issue.
Anyway did a little research on here and the net and came to the conclusion they relay maybe at fault.
So i orderd a Meyle one which are Oe quality German replacement and come with 2 years guarentee.
Here's my Old relay manufactuer date 2007 so has been replaced before.

Looking at the state of the power terminal its pritty clear it needed replacing.

Above is the Replacement Meyle relay and the relay itself is situated just below and infront of the Header tank.
Its held in with 2x 10mm nuts and has 2 pushfit plugs, and the 1 bolt through terminal (power lead) i little tight but managed to change it without removing the header tank, i removed the 2 10mm nuts 1st then disconnected the cable tie hold the loom to the inner chassis rail.
This gave me clearence to undo the multi plugs then disconnect the power lead making sure i didnt touch it against anything metal. Then i fitted the new unit in reverse order.
Hay presto, the glow plug light now comes on as normal and heats a little longer than before, It stays off now too (bonus lol)
Another job done, Just for info the relay was supplied by "Incar Motor Factors" £72.00 inc vat n delivery, i gave them the part number but they also do a relay and glow plug kit. think this was around £110
