Glow plug controle module location - MY11

Hi all. Here's a desperate call from Norway.
I need to locate my glow plug control module/relay on my 2011 Freelander 2.2. According to the handbook and workshop manual, there should be fuses and relays for the glow plugs in the engine compartment fuse box, but in my car, there are none. I've searched the google and this forum but can't manage to find any information about where to locate the glow plug relay. (or the fuses for that matter) Does anyone know where it is?

There are cars with 5 volts glow plugs and cars with 12 volts glow plugs.
The ones with 5V glow plugs have a control module for glow plugs, the 12V don't.

Anyway, if you have 5V version, the module for glow plugs will be near engine ECU, in the engine compartment, behind firewall.

Thank you. How do I know if I have 5 or 12V? Is this MY related? I've allready order new glow plugs, hope they are correct Whistle

If you have the module, they are 5V, like I've said.
The easiest way is to measure with a voltmeter the voltage on plug's pin.
And, normally, the spare parts shop should look and order based on VIN, right? So they must be right... usually. Laughing

5 volts is rather a strange choice for automotive environments don't you think? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

I see it now. I was not awere of this split in VIN related to 12 og 5V. My VIN indicate that I should have 5V. I ordered by "luck" the correct relay, but I can't do anything but wait and hope for the glow plugs, cince the plugs are marked "LR001302 NGK 4966 GLOW PLUG 2.2 LR022300" And LR001302 = 12V, and LR022300 = 5V.

Can be properly PWM to "overglow" for short periods of time or to quickly reach the desired temperature, not to mention the "proper" glow with very tired, way under 12V, batteries.

I renewed the GPs on mine and replaced the Module with one from a scrappy, making sure to match the codes.

You can test the glows for continuity

I downloaded the manual for the early Evoque but there is not much in it about the module so as I say just replaced it

How old are the GPs

HI Mr Chips.
I would imagine they are the same age as the FL2 57 reg so 17yrs old they have not been changed in my time of ownership 7yrs

What are the best ones to use for a manual TD4 any idea please once again all answers welcome and appreciated.

You have to be careful, there is a 5v & 11v variant, I believe the early models took the 11v type (at least that's what I put in my 2007. Not sure when the voltage change over happened.
