Glow Plug Relay Help

[GS 60]

Hi,
I assume this is the Glow Plug Relay? Just noticed it completely rusted through although the plugs seem to be working, no issue starting, glow goes out within 5 seconds.
Its located just behind the headlight (84 RHD BJ42)

Any advice on where I can get one?

Many thanks?

You're probably not going to like the price but it looks like they have it.

Will shop around, thank you for the heads up.

I can see plenty for sale online, they are all 12 v and same part number. I notice that they all have two grey connectors as opposed to mine which has a grey and blue connector (Australian ) Also note that second hand from Aus have the blue and grey connector.
Is there a difference although its the same parts number?
Thank you

How important is it to you to have the stock relay set up? It wouldn't be too hard to rig a generic relay to work with your ignition switch.

Thanks John.
The glow plugs seem to be working fine, no issue with cold start, less than 6 seconds on glow. However, it looks in pretty shape and could fail sooner than later?
Will see what happens with replacement and take it from there.
Thank you

I guess what I'm getting at is you could replace the rusty original relay with a generic relay that ties your ignition "GLOW" position right to the plugs. I have a an FJ40 ignition so I tied mine to the "ON" key position with a momentary switch on the dash ... but it would be simpler (and still appear factory) for yours.

Just something to think about, it'd be about 20 bucks not 200

Thanks John,

Will get back to you on that which is a sound option.
