Glow Plug Timer installation on a NAD/TD

(1/2) > >>

thompjas:
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 -

Looks as though we have similar vehicles, my was a hard top like yours and I have often thought we both had the same vehicle !, I am only in Rushden, your more than welcome to pop over and see what I done to mine

got mine of ebay about 2 years ago seller said needs little work for mot got it home and a sive had less holes so ive had to replace the chassis and rebuild it up just waiting for better weather to carry on brought the disco for the engine to go into it also of ebay but this time looks like it might b staying on the road for at least 1 more year the pics in my gallery are the ones of ebay makes the 90 look a lot better than it was and the disco was dirty so think most looked and moved on the wife cleaned it inside and out and only needs a little welding so far
