I have just fitted a Glow Plug Timer relay to my 2.5 NAD, it looked as though it was going to be a right pain, instead it turned out to be almost straight forward !!

I bought a glow plug Timer relay of ebay quite cheap and the fitted as follows

Click on this Thumbnail for a picture of the Terminals of the relay as a reference




PIN 1 - I connected this via 10mm cable direct to the Battery Positive (6mm is Minimum that you need)

PIN 2 - I used 10mm cable and connected this to Glow Plug 4 (nearest Bulkhead)

PIN 6 - Connect this to the Chassis Ground

PIN 4 - Connect to any White Wire in Wiring loom, I fed via Bulkhead into Dash panel and connected in there.

I left all of the original wiring for the glow plugs in situ, so this also provides a back up way of using the glow plugs should the timer fail, also this also back feeds the glow plug light on the dash panel

here are a couple of Images of the relay all wired up and in situ -

davidlandy:
how long does it allow the plugs to stay on for?

thompjas:
Seems like ages when you are waiting for it to go off, probably 10Secs

davidlandy:
is that enough time for an NA ?   mine used to need 20secs or so
