cheers guys, i thought 50 amp should be ok but seeing that monster on e bay made me think that you could use a diesel glow plug relay, i`m sure they have a very high ampage rating but are they safe to run for a long time as glow plugs tend to be high amp short time.

what ya think. :?

I use a 30A from maplins - £3 or something. Its all fused at 30A and has never blown - so i guess 30A is enough?
