Intermittant fault- As the key is turned to start the pre heater light does not come on. On engaging the starter the engine turns over faster than normal. If the engine has been previously started during the day then she kicks into life and idles normally. If not then it just continues to turn on the starter.[?]

Xantia Staring Problem
Moderator: RichardW
Glowplug circuit I would think. Control unit or maybe even a fuse. Without the glowplugs connecting, the starter would turn faster and the fact that if the engine is warm then all is normal suggests that power is not reaching the plugs. Unfortunately I do not have a wiring diagram for the Xantia but hopefully someone else can tell you how the glowplug circuit is wired.
