OBDII Codes

Hi, I got my son to check my OBDII socket after my engine light came on briefly on my Scottish trip.
Here are the codes:

Any thoughts are welcome.
Glow plug out?
She's had a new battery and alternator in the last two months.

Re: OBDII Codes

Somthing tells me you've had a wiring issue before.....
Is this related to odd voltage?
Or is it all connected to a failed or failing Glow plug?.............

I'm lead to believe HDI's mostly only need glow plugs switched on after engine has started.....
I assume as per controled by ECU

Yes, I had a problem with a relay or something on the main board the other year.
I've now read up about glow plugs snapping off when being removed so am a bit anxious about tackling the replacement of them.

The poor old girl, I'm convinced she will wind up being abandoned deep in a forest on a scottish trip!

Took mine to three garages before I got mine done.  First one didn't want to know.  Second one replaced 1 and said the rest were sized and they couldn't shift them without high risk of snapping.  Wouldn't even have a go when I said I would risk it.

Eventually got them all safely done in a morning by Diesel Dave in Keighley.

I think it's an easy test to check them first if unsure they are failing

This sounds like a plan.
My mate has a garage over in Cheshire, I think I'll get him to do this job.
I'll have a go at testing them in situ, any advice gratefully received.

The old girl starts and runs (a bit lumpy on start up), that'll do for now.
