I'm guessing steady readings on your voltmeter are probably more to do with the dynamics of the voltmeter rather than the output from the glow plug. As for your comment about noise - I don't go along with that - sorry (but I see little point in butting heads over it!)

So keep up the good work. You are more than a few steps ahead of me on this project - I'm still scrabbling around in the ditch trying to get some equipment...
