Copy that. Actually, I have already done this to my No.1 240D and I am very happy with the result.

I am planning on removing the old relay from no.1 240D so that I could use it to my other no.2 240D unit with the busted old style relay and with the old loop type glow plug.

I'm at a lost right now on how to proceed with the installation of the new type glow plug relay on no.1 240D considering that the wire harness is for the old 7 pin type relay under dash. I need a guide on doing this...

And Stevo, yes. I read the manual push type option for the glow plug and that is my last and final option I think....

Another question though, what kind of situations destroys the relay aside from its age and its time has already come...

ground? short circuit? defective glow plug?
