No glow plug heater light

Hi All,
I've suddenly had the problem with my expert as of this evening, fine yesterday.

When going to start it there is no glow plug heater light, and when cranked it failed to start. I managed to get it going with some easy start (I know its not a good idea to use it) but once running it sounded incredibly rough. The water temp gauge also didn’t move.

I changed the oil filter a couple of days ago so its possible a wire has slowly come loose over the last few days but seems unlikely. I've had a quick look around that area to no avail, I've checked all the fuses too, although in the owners book it doesn’t mention one for the glow plugs.

Is there a specific relay? I’ve read there’s an earth strap? Where are these located?

There’s no ECU light on.

Thanks
