Never come across it before. So everyone will know more when it is fixed. But looking at video power is being applied to glow lamp in a pulsed fashion only when cranking. So it is fair to assume that is because of voltage changes. Temp sensor is a lot cheaper than glow relay if it comes to change and fix method.
Part number is STC2299.
Injector symbol is the MIL lamp on the diesel Ant. Petrol MIL symbol is a engine outline. Thinking out of the box the hotfix may have been fitted to overcome a faulty temp sensor. But it has failed. So back to square one. Some people think in strange ways and do strange things. Only supposition of course.

Found this. Appears to be quite loose and there is a wire coming from this to the 4th injector so I’d assume this is the temp sensor?
No that is number four injector connection to loom. You are looking for a green temp sensor between and just below number three and four inlets on head. Looks like this. https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-STC2299 Look at the sensor to the left of your finger in the photo.

Yea, needs plugging in. Seriously struggling with that as due to a height restriction I can’t move the car and none of my local garages do mobile diag.
Brian very kindly came over to help the other day but it turns out his diag equipment is on the blink! Not having much luck but if anyone in Surrey can come and plug it in there is A LOT of beer coming your way!

Check the earth connection to the ECU, it has been known to fail. Add another one if you are not sure

Update time: after managing to fix the rovacom we couldn’t talk to the Ecu. Finally found that the engine cut out fuse was broke (Wasn’t initially).
Replaced that, rebuilt it and the glow lamps and check engine light are behaving as they should. Now it’s nearly starting, just too much air in the system so going through the process of bleeding it out. Unfortunately starter has been getting too hot so decided to call it a day before destroying the starter motor.
Fingers crossed tomorrow will be running!

Sorry, I am in Cornwall at the moment and I have the Nanocom with me! Don't leave home without it!
I am watching the thread with interest though. Car might run on default values with #4 unplugged? Just thinking that might take a variable out of the mix but wait till Wammers says it is OK to do so.
Normally if there is air in the injector pipes you slacken then off at the ends (inlet manifold off) and crank it nipping them up as the fuel comes through.

That’s what we’re doing. Getting fuel through on most injectors now but the starter was getting too hot so called it a day as to not destroy the starter
That would be fuse 37 main engine control relay supply. Well done you are getting there. I would not refit the hot fix, if you need to do get a new one.

How come you wouldn’t refit the hot fix?
I would not trust that one. But it's your car.
