Glow plug fuse and wires

[Elfstone]

Hi all,

I have tried a search on this but have not found much that seems specific to my needs.

I've just replaced the head on mine but can't get it to start. It turns out that this is because the glow pugs fuse has blown and there is no power lead to the bus bar. I have a freindly grease monkey who took a look, got it running by running a jump lead direct from the positve turminal to the glow plugs bus bar and it started. However, when I took the head off I have no recollection of any lead running to the central conection on the top of the manifold. Can anyone identify this lead for me?

I shall go back over the photos I took to see if I can see it but if anyone can help me identify it either by how to trace it or with a photo it would be a great help. The grease monkey thinks I must have earthed somewhere it shouldn't be which is why the fuse has blown.

Thanks for any help.

I wouldn't do that.Battery voltage direct to glow plugs may be too much voltage.If you overheat the plugs they may rupture and then you will have to remove the head to get them out.
