Is this it? Looks like fuse has gone? Can this be replaced?

That's it and yes the fuse can be replaced. Never had to do it so cannot tell you where to get one.

Think ebay do them, this is a defo that no glow plugs at all.

Would the diagnostic pick up cps if engine is not running?

Yep. Odd, I thought we had ruled glow-plugs out as working.

I can't actually find a part number for it.

Did you forget to disconnect the battery before commencing work?

Only the glow relay bit you don't really get anything unless the engine has run.

Replaced glow plug fuse to no avail. Also the sync mate or hawkeye now wont connect to the car. The engine ECU I found was partially unplugged so put that back now these issues have arisen. I assume this causes an issue?

Look at fuse 33 engine bay fuse box. 5 amp. Playing with electrics as you have done if battery is connected is not a good idea.

Yep they all ok have cleaned connections in drivers footwell only other thing to check is fuse box connections but then again sync-mate just flashes red? Hawkeye says cannot communicate with engine ecu?

Since changing fuse the glow plug light doesnt even come on wasnt doing that before

When the ignition is switched on the engine ECU gets a signal from the green temp sensor on the head, if the temp is low enough it energises the glow plug relay and switches on the glow lamp. Plugs will stay on for various times subject to engine temp. You have disturbed something, only thing i can suggest is you go over everything you have done. Maybe ignition control relay has failed i don't really know. It's just a case of checking everything until you find what you have disturbed.
