Right you could TRY this !! BUT wait while Disco 1 BFG confirms !:rolleyes:
IT will take 2 of you !
KEY in ignition ! NOT TURNED ON !
JUMP LEAD ON + of BATTERY ! touch OTHER END OF JUMP LEAD TO No2 GLO PLUG & count to 8 ! jump lead OFF TURN ignition key to TURN MOTOR OVER !
Doz it START UP straight away ? if it duz then it's the glo plug RELAY that's KNACKER:eek::rolleyes:

I'd disconnect the glow plug wiring from the relay for complete belt and braces safety - shouldn't be necessary, but there's quite a bit of smoke trapped in all that wiring, and it's better staying there! :D
Worth testing the GP relay... as they do fail without warning, not very often, but they do fail.
 
Hahah there no air pressure pipe for the turbo boost coming of the pump could that be a problem

I think I can see that in one of your pictures (IMG_1033.JPG). Your engine needs a damn good clean! .... AND....The pressure feed is the other way round - from the turbo to the FIP! This ensures that extra fuel is only supplied when the boost pressure rises - more pressure = more fuel.

There is plenty of info on the web about how this system works - including some good vids on the tube of you (!) - worth having a look IMHO. :)
