Heater Plugs

<< < (3/3)

hobbit:
Did you actually test the plugs before fitting, sometimes one can be new but not work

Not had much to do with defenders, so general rules only, if the glow plugs are all working ok, the fuel side must be a consideration, especiall if there is a bit doubt on the timing setting.

Mace:
Guy. This is not an answer to your problem but an observation about my old NAD. I used to wait 30 secs min when it was cold, 15 secs in the summer. I thought I'd change the plugs over for new ones, cheap as chips from paddocks. It actualy became harder to start with the new plugs in. I cleaned all the terminals and tried to tighten the connectors but ended up breaking them through force. Dare I say it I went to Halfords in desparation and bought some Bosch ones (more expensive) and the starting improved. I reckon you get what you pay for, even though I don't like it.

diesel_boy:
get your self a blow torch and heat the inlet manifold  save on the heater plugs    :lol:  :lol:

kevinf:
have you checked the relay?

 is it sticking on and suppling current to the plugs after you have started

 or is the live feed from the ignition switch to the relay still present after  
 the ignition key is released ?
