I automatically assumed that my plugs were duff, The light on the dash comes on and goes off within a few seconds but me being me jumped to a conclusion. Anyway decided to have a proper look no signs of any wire tampering that was good cheked a few connections all good then checked for voltage at the plugs pole point no power? umm then opened the fuse box found what i seem to remeber was the glow plug relay from pics here on other posts pulled it, it rattled so swapped it for one of it's neighbours with the same part number. I then tried the van no lights on the dash but the van fired up instantly been standing two days so was expecting a bit of fun stopped it swapped the relays back lights came back van took 2 goes to fire back up quick dirty test revealed the sodding relay is duff. Now to find one. Just thought i would post an update.

Local auction site 6 quid cost me more than that to go to local breakers 20 mile round trip. None of the local motor factors stock it.
