Retro fitting glow plugs.

<< < (2/2)

ChrisW70:
I think the load is about 15A per glow plug - the standard timer relay is rated at 70A (going from memory) - cabling would need to be sized/rated accordingly.

I'll cheat and use some tri-rated 6mm earth. I cant do it for a couple of days as i'v had to order the plugs from fleabay, £25 each Land Rover wanted, i told them its an 89 disco not a 2009 Range Rover Sport :roll:

It should be simple enough to wire up a glow plug relay so they come on automatically.  Glow plug continue to heat after the light has normally gone out.  I just wired ours up with a proper fuse rated at 30 amps and it's fine BTW.

On plant machinery the ignition switch has 2 start positions, the operator turns on the glowplugs rather like we turn on the starter, then the next position turns the starter, both positions are spring-loaded.
