hi lads , wonder if you can shed some light on this one , car came in with engine preheat fault, light and buzzer for first 20 secs after startup hot or cold. car starts and runs fine. used kts, launch and texa , all gave fault of p0380 glow plug circuit a control relay current high . have changed control relay (similar to citroen /peugeot) on bulkhead with new one from dealer, reset fault codes and still returns p0380. dealer is no help, just says they need vehicle and blame aftermarket diagnostic machine. could it be a glow plug down , but i thought that they were not used unless temperature below -3'c. any ideas greatly appreciated. steve
