Also I'm no longer getting power to the glow plug bar, 0.3v is the most ive seen recently, if i connect 12v to the black relay wire I'm getting melting of wires, unless its connnected to the glow plug then just a .3v reading ( voltage drain due to a short or bad earths all round?)

Re: bongo starting issue
your jump lead test suggests you may have both a supply and earthing problem. I'd sort the earth as suggested then work along the 12v supply path. When measuring voltages, where are you putting the black probe for earth reference? Thats what I'll do, makes sense. If im close to a battery then i use...
