I've got exactly the same symptoms. Have changed the glow plugs and bought a new battery : no change.
Where is that relay ? Is it in the fuse box ?

Read the thread, it's in the engine ECU box immediatly behind the battery. Before you ask, no not the fuse box.

Hi again guys I am getting fed up of having to give my p38 double heat to start it every time I have done the hot start fix that worked very well for about six months then I started having problems with it cranking over for ages so started giving it double heat and when I do this it fire's up instantly.
so I fitted new bocsh heater plugs £40 and fuel filter changed the spill off pipes but it was exactly the same I was then told that the plugs weren't heating quick enough and then I fitted delphi heater plugs £110 still the same now I have just changed the battery to a bigger cranking one £100 and yet it is still the same please please any idea's it drives fine once it is started I dont mind spending on it if it fixes it but hate throwing money at it for nothing
cheers all

Just to let you know.
I was having exactly the same symptoms. Had changed the glow plugs & battery ....no change. I read this thread and went tonight to have a look at the glow plugs relay. I opened the box behind the battery but didn't recognise the relay immediately.
I opened the fuse box and had a look at the relays in there. I changed relay 15 ( ignition key sign) : got in and she started first time.That's the first time that has happened in a long time !
I have not done any checking of what all is fed by relay 15. I just tell you what happened for your info.
