Hi everyone, me Again.... Sorry.
I have sorted quite a few bits out and the next job is, the glow plug relay.
I find it (300tdi) struggles to start when it's cold but fine thereafter.
It's a 1988 110,so don't have the glow plug light but have a choke light, which does not illuminate when I hold the key in the "sprung position" where it should be clicking and heating up the plugs. I thought I'd replace the relay and Flossi was very kind and gave me loads of advice but then we found out that it was a different relay than he originally thought it was, so it has become a bit more complicated.
My question is then, do I need the exact same relay or can I change it for a more basic one? I have put a pic up of the one that's in there now and if anyone wants more pics or detail, I'll get some pics in the morning.
Thanks again in advance.
