strange faults on my diesel

<< < (2/2)

HI MATE, I KNOW YOUVE CHECKED FOR VOLTAGE AT THE GLOW PLUGS AND HAVE 12.5 VOLTS, HAVE YOU CHECKED FOR AMPERAGE AS WELL, THE CONTACTS IN THE RELAY MAY BE BURNT, THIS WILL ALLOW A VOLTAGE TO THE PLUGS BUT NO CURRENT( AMPS)- IT IS A BIT DIFFICULT TO CHECK WITHOUT AN INDUCTIVE CURRENT CLAMP (ie ONE THAT CLAMPS AROUND THE WIRING BUT DOESNT BREAK INTO IT), IF YOU KNOW AN RAC or AA MAN THEY CARRY THEM IN THE VANS, IT DOESNT TAKE 2 MINS TO CHECK IT. THAT COULD WELL BE THE PROBLEM.

gtomo2:
true i have a amp meter somewhere will try and dig it out and have a looksee. Failing that the mother in law is with a aa will see what they can do. If they ever turn up

gtomo2:
just got back from a local idesel garage and had some good news my engine which i was told is a perkins 3ltr is infact a mazda 3.8ltr. and the glow plugs i had in it wear the wrong ones some new plugs fitted and its up and running great again now. so all i have to do now is sit back and wait for the next bit to brake or fall off :lol:  :D
