I'd recommend changing the glowplugs. NGK are one option.

Thanks for your  help Steve.

Are all 4 identical and is it  usual to  replace all 4 ?

Would a 2 and 3 swop  help identify if its  glow plug or  missing  voltage ?

Im worried a broken  wire scenario  would give same error , is the supply  wire possible to test .

Ill get  error  code again  co66  or similiar from memory .

When I had a glowplug issue, I just changed them all.  You're right though it could be a broken wire from the leads.

Im guessing i can move them one position and see if error code changes ?

There seems to be a 4 volt and 11volt ngk optio  ..anyone got a link or part number Adrian
