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?

That's just battery discharge... Once the engine is on you've got the Alternator to help bring the voltage back up.
