The glow plug light on my TD4 doesn't come on when I turn on the ignition, even when the engine is stone cold. Its also difficult to start sometimes I've connected up my black box and can get the light to turn on, so its not the lamp. I can also switch the relay with the black box but the lamp...

When I'm braking theres a loud clunk from the N/S/F. Thought it was something in the door pocket at first but removed everything. It doesn;t do it when going over rough ground. Its getting worse. Any ideas?
