I heard about the queues and headed over after a night shift so no queue at 05.15 :)

I would lightly clean those three contact strips as they look darkened, clean the matching points they contact with too, if there is any damage try to repair it with light soldering.

That's the medium version ;)

Took a trip to the slipway in Greenwich behind the O2 on my home from work the other morning, to get the obligatory car pic with Canary Wharf in the background :) Had some security guards looking at me maybe expecting me to drive into the Thames :)

Youtube is quicker than explaining, two types so I found both you can check resistance of all the glow plugs from the relay wiring if it is easier also resistance should be 0.5 to 2.5 ohms on e46 :)

Did you check the pick up ring for corrosion and high spots, thought we talked about this before? https://burchmotorworks.co.uk/performance-and-maintenance/bmw-rear-abs-driveshaft-rings/
As for the glow plugs probably the glow plugs gone open circuit, might have done the control unit as well, it sometimes goes that way, I would check the resistance, anything above 8 Ohms change them, note this is not a job for the faint hearted they often snap and require specialist removal. You have to get the engine as hot as possible, soak them in wd 40or similar, remove the inlet manifold whilst engine is hot and remove all the glow plugs while the engine is still warm {DO NOT attempt on a cold engine] once renewed double check the relay function.

A to Z and OS maps :) in fact when I ever had to head in to North London I used to take a compass with me and often just head South until I got to the Thames and get South to my home ground :D
