The above link may be helpful.

i'll check that out kev cheers

the bloody thing was working before i took the motor out & put the new motor in! sheeeesh

Fuse below the relay is the usual culprit.

i'vw got the day on the motor tomorrow so if it aint the 50 amp fuse below the relay where should i start looking?

are any of the relays in the fusebox related to the engine bay electrics, i gotta see if my local ibary has a manual that covers the diesel tomorrow morn, i have a multimeter & a box of blade fuses & electrical connectors at the ready!

obviously i need to sort it asap as i need to shift my motor :O/

Have you double checked the glow plugs, even if new, why not try one directly on a 12v battery to see if it heats up properly (obviously holding with pliers). You'd be surprised how many new plugs are defective unless buying the best.

Well just a thought.

fixed this problom, on my crewy it turned out to be the flippin earth strap on the gearbox had snapped, it was making errrrrrr some contact of types! but a new earth strap on it & all electrics work as they should!
