That might make sense as they owner has recently had a new key cut and the old one is close to snapping.

That's great cheers. I've googled the glow plug diagram and have seen the relay so will look into why the switch is there and why the relay hasn't been changed if that is what's failed. Putting the switch in seems to be a harder job than just replacing the relay. Thanks again

I'll be going to see an 89 reg defender this week and it looks to be on great condition but inside the cab on the dash there's a flick switch labelled glow plugs so just wondering if anyone has seen something similar or why it would be there. I've had some advice on the introduce yourself so...

Great cheers. I'll ask over there and I think that's what you meant by looking under the bonnet near the drivers side bulkhead. Great info to help me out thanks

Yep looking forward to getting involved and no doubt asking lots of questions. What would be the electrical issue to prompt someone to put a switch in? Any info would be great as I can zero in on it when I view it next. Cheers

Cheers for the replies so far. It's one of the questions I am going to ask when I go back to have a proper look. I was in supply too with one of my last jobs on 25 tornado sqn at Leeming. Came out end of 2000

Not sure if it's the original engine. Going over later this week to have a better poke around and drive. I'll update with what I find. Cheers

Hi all, I'm in the process of getting an 89 defender 90 2.4 and very excited. It looks to be in great shape and has had a great quality respray and facelift. I'm already planning a few things to make it my regular use car including either heater seat covers or the pads that you fit below the...
