anyone know where the glow plug relay is located? i came out of a mates house this evning to come home and when i turn the ignition on the glow plug light didnt come on, the engine wasnt stone cold but it was defanatly cold enuff to need the glow plugs , i turned it 4 ages then ended up puting a wire from battery str8 to the plugs

more likely temp sensor in pump. fairly common problem across beemers, RRs, and Omegas...

what happened to original seats?

no idea got the car as it is couple of months ago, i wanted a 2.2 dti but this one came cheap so i had it, its not mint but its not as bad as it mite sound and i had it on 2 post ramp and theres no play in anything,discs and pads are good, exhaust dosnt look that old, nor does the turbo, its drives sound with no knocks or anything like that, the brakes are good, like i say its lots of small things and time, also drivers central lock ram doesnt work so have to use key, i may be able to go and do sume naff pics in the dark but it will be a week b4 i get chance to do pics in daylight

I think its a new pump.  Don't ask for cost, not worth it.
