If it starts ok at -2 I would leave well alone. You could swap the horn relay they are both rated at 70A. Clear the code and see if it comes back?

Ill give that a try thanks
Hi , can you recommend a good quality glow plug to buy for this cheers
Any of the OE manufacturers would supply good quality plugs, so that'll be NGK, Bosch, Denso and the like. Looks Advanced Factors list NGK and Bosch, so I'd go with their stock items, as AF only supply quality components.
I tried some £15 a set plugs from ebay with a 5 year guarantee
, as I was planning on replacing my cylinder head in the future. I'll test them when I do replace the head, and decide at the time if I should fit OE plugs, or keep the cheap ones.

My FL2's glowplugs have been u/s for years and the car has started reliably even in the depths of winter . . . in Scotland. In balmy Devon, I wouldn't bother.
Not sure about 2008 model but at some point there was a Glow Plug Control Module under LH H-lamp, accessible from wheel arch. I do know there is a grey 4 pin connector between plugs and ECM, near top of engine on right, as you look at it.
If car is starting fine. Have you tried clearing the fault code and re-reading ? Could be a leftover.

The glow plugs changed voltage in 2011, when the new chassis numbering system was introduced. The up to 2011 plugs are 11V plugs, these are switched with a simple relay and also has a monitor circuit. After 2011, the plugs went to 5V, which required a glow plug controller module, which also has glow plug monitoring. NGK make the genuine LR plugs.
