Hi Mates,
Hope all is well. I bought a 97 Defender 130 which is in fairly great shape from the first owner. It needed some TLC which I am giving it.

I noticed that it's hard starting a bit and though the glow light is working, I am not getting power to the glow plug harness. The odd thing is, I am getting the timed 12V output from the relay on the black wire / yellow stripe but yet not to the glow plugs. I am not getting continuity between the the relay BL/Yel output wire to the glow plug harness, there is an open circuit somewhere.

The 60 amp fuse by the brake booster is Ok too. Is the wire from the relay connected directly to the glow plugs or is there another fuse somewhere? I cant trace it easily since it going to junction in the center of the bulkhead with a plastic cover over it, so was wondering if you guys knew if it was a straight run from the relay to the glow plugs or not.

I read that the 60 amp fuse and a 15 amp fuse is within the circuit, but I don't think they are an issue because I am getting the 12V out put from the relay but nothing at the glow plugs.

Cheers and thanks.
