I'm currently working on the above vehicle, but I'm having a problem with having no power to the glow plugs (or the buzz bar). When you turn the ignition 'on', the glow plug light seems to stay on for a long time, and comes on again for a few seconds after the engine starts. The fusible link is OK, I'm getting power to and from it, and I've checked all the fuses, which are OK.
Would anyone know what else I should check! I'm thinking a relay, but can't find the damn thing.

aahhhhh. i think, they have the controller in the l/h pillar, behind the seat - where the radiator overflow bottle is on the later ones. pretty certain we had the same issue but with a 98. ended up just fitting a push button glower. the same shape, but with updated front end, had the controller behind the dash, behind the glovebox.

The light on dash is only a indicator, basically its bullox . like our 2011 dacia has a glow light on dash lol it is because they all have the exact same instrument to cut cost onpetrol-engine and diesmanufacturing.The light is on for a fixed time only has nothing actuarly to do with realtime glowing. Push button conversion is the cheapest option. other option is aftermarket adjustable glow timer.

No clicking sounds that I can hear Intrade, nothing. I looked at another Hiace with a working system, and couldn't hear it either. Maybe I'm deaf.

Thanks Intrade, if I can't do anything with the control unit, I guess I'll have to fit an a/m device. This POS has done over 900 000kms too
