I did that in 1995 on my escort. The glow relay was flakey on it.
The MB relays are pretty good, and tend to either work or not.
But I agree with you. Manual control is best. therefore a 240D 3.0
is better than a 300D as you have manual control of the heater, and
if the 240D was a 4 speed, then you have manual trans control too.

The 80 240D has pencil glow plugs, with an odd, maybe one year
glow relay.
the 81 has the "normal" style GP relay, with 6 pins, 4 of
which are used for GPs.
Is it easier to swap the relays or to swap the plug for the
sender? I first thought the sender, but since I don't have the
tools, Is it easier to figure out the wiring and swap the
relays? Your thoughts?
I converted the '78 to parallel from series glow plugs. And so
I wired a push button on the dash to trigger them. I _really_
like that. So I keep thinking I will change the newer cars to a
push-button glow plug - but I'm lazy and it's not broken...
So if that were my car, that would be plenty of motivation to
make it a push-button glow plug system!
