   Hi All
   Can anyone tell me where the fuses are for the GlowPlugs and the heated rear window are. Neither are working. Thanks

   Hi mate
   
   The 1st thing i`d check with a diesel engine is the pre-heating unit in the engine bay.

   No mate the glow plugs are in your cylinder head but when you switch the ignition on you`ll see a symbol on the dashboard looks like curled wire you wait for this light to go out(I know you know this)then start your engine this is your pre-heating for the glow plugs,well there is a unit often next to the fusebox in the engine bay which heats the plugs up.Check the connections to it in the mean time i`ll see if I can find anything on the fuses/relays for it.

   i had to replace the glow plug heating system, as it was staying on and burning out the plugs, just ran a switch wired to the first glow plug (keeping the loop to the other plugs in place) and to the battery, now i just hold the button for a few seconds before starting the car
