My 45 TD isn't starting to well now cold mornings are in. Suspect glow plugs, but before that pain of a job want to check relay, anyone tell me where to find it ?

The handbook is useless, just says go to Rover dealer !!!

45 I think is on the bulkhead, they are usually here or on the inner passenger wing. Looks like a normal black relay but when you pull it out you'll see it has MUCH larger electrical connections on it.
Easiest way to test is to stick a voltmeter on the glow plugs and get a helper to turn the igntion on (cold engine) you should get 10-12v for about 5 seconds (time is temperature dependant). If you don't then suspect the relay.
