I was checking my glow plug relay earlier when I thought I'd check the voltage at my glow plugs.
With ignition on, 12.3v appears and slowly drops to 11.9v over about 18 seconds, then the relay switches off as expected and the voltage drops to 0v.
When I start the car though, and it's running, I get 12v at my glow plugs? regardless of engine rpm or temperature. What am I missing here or is this normal, does anyone know why?

A moments silence please, for our brothers in the NAD-zone.
