I only have two relays at the fuse box. 1 x yellow YWB10027 and a black AMR3773. I think the yellow one is for the fuel pump.
I have the rave disc which shows an earlier 1999 wiring. diagram which shows the fuse box under the bonnet. My car was registered in August 2000. Best Regards |

Sorry I have not updated. Have been away for a few days.
I checked the battery voltage this morning at 11.73v, the amp draw at the battery at 0.30 and 0.17 across the 100 amp fuse. I reconnected the alternator and replaced the fuses am now getting a draw of 0.18 across the battery. Refitted the relay and the car started first attempt. The car is now sitting with 0.13 amps across the battery with the glow plug relay disconnected. I am still not sure what to do now. I have ordered a new glow plug relay which should arrive today. My gut feel is that it is the alternator at fault. |

Just To update I pulled the 100 amp fuse from under the seat and the draw across the battery has gone down to 0.013.

A further update.
I took the car to an auto electrician today and he found that the glow plugs energise when the ignition is turned off drawing 40 + amps. He thinks the fault is in the ecu as that controls them. Have you heard of this fault before. Could it be a faulty ignition switch ?? |

yes it ecu as that controls glow plug Relay, engine coolant temp and battery voltage too if coolant temp sender in put too ecu fails ecu will operable pre- post heat time strategies with default valves from its memory
have checked ECU plugs for oil as this can cores all sorts of problems |

If the wire from the engine ecu earths out I believe it brings on the glow plugs.

Thanks for the link. I have managed to download the pdf workshop manual. Do you have the link for the circuit diagrams that relate to my model year of car ??
My 110 was registered in August 2000 and is a 2001 model year with a 1A chassis number. I have had the plugs out of the ecu and took the covers out and it looks dry with no evidence of oil. I really appreciate your help. |

Sorry the answer to your earlier question is the glow plug lamp is working normally.
I have since pulled out the relay and there is now no light on start up. |
