2003 GU Patrol 4.2 DX TD starting problems
Hi all
my 'trol starts fine first thing in the morning, or when cold, and after glowing,,, and starts fine after an hour or so after it has cooled down,,, and also starts fine after a 5 - 10 minute stop,, but anything inbetween,,,,, she just cranks over, on and on, just like she who must be pandered to !
I'm thinkin that the glow plugs must be ok, as it does start when it glows.
My questions are these,,
1. is there a sensor that tells the glow circuit not to work when the engine is warm ?
2. If so, where is it ?
3. I've heard of guys putting a switch in the cab to trick the glow relay into thinking the motor is cold, and thereby turning on the glow circuit. true ?, false ?, and where does this switch go ?
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Also, the 'trol runs on BIO , and runs beautifully on it too !, however, the problem has only just recently started, and after getting rid of the death wobbles , and being prepared to put up with a slight pull to the left, this is the only bug bear left to sort out before, peice of mind, and therefore 'trol-nirvana are reached
regards, and thanks in advance
Pedro
