2.1 glowplug relay voltage

Hello

Anyone know what voltage should be coming out of the glow plug relay into the glow plugs?

I have 12.2v into it but only 10.8v coming out. I am starting to have indimediate starting problems and want to rule out the relay.
Thanks
Mike

Looks like the glow plugs themselves are rated for 11V, so I guess it makes sense for the relay to be outputting about that much?

Makes sence, i'd better check what plugs i put in, as i might have put 12v in, and their not getting enough juice.
Thanks, Mike
