Meant to ask, on the subject of glow plugs how have you kept the dash light working? I have a 19j which of course uses full fat 12v plugs. To get them to heat I currently have the feed to the plugs directly linked to the supply on the old 2.25 resistor.

The lead for the warning lamp is still on the other side of the resistor, is this needing earthed or am I missing something? Presumably from the above posts I will need a 12v bulb as well?

thanks

You're on the right track.

Your old resistor is now redundant, but you can leave it in place to act as a terminal block if you like.

Connect one terminal of the warning lamp's wires to the 12v switched feed to the heater plugs, the other to chassis ground. Then  replace the original 6v warning lamp bulb with a new 12v one and you're away.

HTH, Glen.
