Hi mate,

Mk1 or 2?? I will assume 2
When you say its not "timing out" do you mean the light is staying on?? or is it flashing? Or is it not coming on at all??

The control box for the glow plug heating system is located on the bulkhead just to the left of the diesel filter It is eld on with a single 10mm bolt.

Hope that helps,
Alan
