<snip> After the glow plug relay failed on the Lister LPWS2 in nb Lark Rise [GBP70!] I was advised to relocate that and 2 other relays which were attached to the engine - to reduce the effects of vibration. They were re-fixed to one of the battens supporting the engine box and have been trouble free since. Baz
