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?

The glow plug relay is located under the front wiper blade scuttle panel..

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

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.

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
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

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.

Europarts have this

11volts to vin AH999999


5volts from vin BH000001

Bumping up the line has i have just read a P0380 code on my new TOPDON AD500 PRO+

Best and easy way to check the glow plugs/ relay please all ideas welcome and appreciated

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

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.
