ive bought a 1997 e class 3ltr td 8wks ago and so far ive had nothin but hassle, ive stripped the head off it to have a glow plug milled out ,repaired faulty elec windows and done a grand total of 6 miles in it.
my latest drama is that the glow plug light is still on i know the glowplugs are ok cause i took them out earthed them and watched them glow hot ( all except pot 3 ( funny enough the one which had to be milled out) i swapped the glowplug with pot 4 and was ok,so brings me to the conclusion that its the relay ,not being the sharpest knife in the box where it comes to electrics can i find NO, not a scoobie doo.
can anyone give me a helpin hand an locate it so ican fix it or buy a newi
ps the car has started to get cob webs on it needs to be sorted:

The relay is on the NSF inner wing. It's black & a bit bigger that a fag packet. The 6 pin plug will have the corresponding glow plug numbers on it but they are only on the relay end & not the actual wiring plug, you will need a mirror to see due to the downward angle of the plug.
