I don't know how to search old threads!

Basically I've been replacing my glow plugs and on removing one I attempted to test it by turning the ignition on. Long story but the short of it is I shorted the circuit...! (Dickhead yes!) Well I've replaced the fuse it blew (30amp) but it still isn't working.. So has it possibly blown the relay which appears to be (RL3) or the glow plug timer relay or both (ouch) help appreciated :)

Oh and where is this timer relay located??
 
Cheers for that, have been searching about all aft/eve and found various threads and parts. I did look in the ecu compartment thinking I had to get to the bottom, but looking in I can see the timer relay and in particular the link fuse element which is blown! So seems problem found, relay in fuse box is working fine. Just need to locate a link fuse now, work right next to a Land Rover dealer so will see if they do the part and it's not priced like its gold plated...! Alternatively I have seen the part on eBay so I have a second choice! Thanks again for input :)
