This brings about another question thats bugged me for several years........WHY didn't ford put a maxi fuse in the engine fusebox for the glowplugs?, ok uing a fusible link is just as good, but far more noticeable when blown and confusing / worrying to people who don't know what it is. Chances are they'd never know anything was wrong with them if it was a blown fuse instead, and certainly wouldn't keep asking on here about it!! I'm getting rather tired, (as others must be) of typing the same response about a "broken / burnt out wire next to jump start point possibly being the cause of all my troubles" lol
