Hi, the key switch with the push and hold for glow plugs is probably from 434D. As I recall, B275/414D had a L handle switch on the dash that you held down until glow plug indicator glowed.
On our B414D the glow plug indicator burnt out and since it was in series with the glow plugs the whole circuit didn't work anymore. I just bypassed the glow plug indicator by connecting the 2 wires to the one terminal.
When we went to start the B414D when it was cold, we would just count 1000, 1001, 1002 .... 1010.
In the summer time about 10 secs would be enough to start it and in the winter it would take 30 sec.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO HOLD SWITCH ON TO LONG AS IT WILL BURN OUT THE GLOW PLUGS.
Experiment with your B414D and you will find out how many seconds to hold the switch for different temperature.

Since glow plugs are in series the + side of the glow plug closest to the battery should read 12v, the next 9v, the next 6v, the last 3v.

Good luck
JB
