You likely have checked out the entire glow plug circuit and found that you needed new relays but how did you determine that was your problem? What were your symptoms? I had a huge issue starting my van on Saturday (almost had to get it towed) up on Mt. Washington and determined that it was likely the glow plugs that were not working as everything else was working as expected. I had suspected the glow plugs for the past few weeks of cold morning starting.

I can't help on the glow plug relay part number...sorry. Have you tried calling Rocky Mountain Imports. He seems to have pretty much anything you need for a Delica. http://www.rockymountainimports.net/

1)MD155274 Relay A
2)MD012137 Relay B

You will not find it in Lordco or NAPA. They are about $95 each.

What are the symptoms? Many of our Delicas are of an age where the glow plug controller packs up.

Mine did, earlier in the fall. No first click, no second click, no glow plug activity. I fixed it myself. Judging by the before and after behaviour, it may have been slightly haywire all along.

Thanks everyone for the quick replys! I don't actually have the van it is still with jdm wholesale who we are buying it from. They said they would probably have to order the part from japan so i was doing a little investigating myself to try to speed things up.
He says it needs new glow plug relays because they are kicking in intermitently.
Thanks, Mamalou

have them check the condition of the capacitors on the control board, chances are it's not the actual relays but the circuits controlling them that's the problem.

It is the relay controller, we are just going to take one form another Van in the meantime to get it to work.

Cheers
