| my mate's 2.8 glow plug ecu failed, we ditched the whole system and fitted a montego/ldv heater time for £5 from the local factors and works really well. |

black box with 5 connectors
1 large cable from battery
1 large cable to the glow plug rail
1 small earth
1 small switched igniton
1 to the glow plug bulb
does not have any temperature sensing but you know when your engine is hot! |
