fitted 200 tdi this week end

have put a defender 200 tdi in the def 90 and has taken ac side of thingsl weekend. everything went fairly well till I got to the electrics engine had all its wiring there so used it but I'm stuck on how to wire up the timer relay to my n/a ignition switch any help welcome. have searched the archive and found plenty on putting in the engine but nothin really useful about the electric side of things.

It might be a lot easier to dodge the timer relay entirely because .... does that not need the other IGN switch?

Why not fit a push-to-make button on the dash, and a Sierra glowplug relay (any 70+ amp relay will do) and do the glow that way?

Much easier, much simpler, and YOU could control how long to glow it.

cheers charlsey thats sounds a fine idea or is it possible to heat it up n/a style with existing ignition switch , so would need info on that botch cause Im using the wiring already on the 200 engine, cheers any one.
also found a tiny hole in the sump which quite happly dripps oil verry quickly can this be welded or brazed in place while the oil drips out?

200Tdi glow plug relay connections - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum

1. Brown to +
2. Yellow/Black to Glow Plug
3. White/Red to starter relay
4. White to Warning light and fuel shut off and ignition
5. Black return from Warning light
6. Black/Yellow to Earth

wiz wondering if I could jist swap over engine loom from the n/a onto the 200 tdi with maybe having to lengthen some of the wires and so would just start the same way as n/a as in hold the key to heat the plugs?
I'm going to get the sump welded to ,jist got p**sed of by last night
