Fiat Brava 75 1.9TD
When I switch the ignition on the glow plug warning light on the dash doesn't come on. The plugs don't heat up and the car won't start. If I squirt some quick-start down the hose after the air filter it starts and runs as usual.
Grateful for any help.

Glowplug fuse/relay?

Check the diddy stuff. Relays? Fuses? You got a Haynes for this bad boy?
No Haynes unfortunately. The fuse in the engine comp is okay. Where is the relay 'hidden'?
Cheers, krystnors
No idea unfortunately. Try any compartments in the engine bay, or on top of the fusebox. Check obvious places like behind glove box, footwells, beside the battery etc.
Thr Relay should be next to the battery.

Thanks, found it. Will have a look tomorrow.

krystnors ( snipped-for-privacy@tiscali.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :
Try feeding +12v direct to the glows.
Can you not just check the voltage on the +ve terminal of the glow plug ?

Thanks for the help folks. Broken wire found and replaced.
