I charged the battery and hoped it would start but it didn't (new to vehicle). Former owner said I have to power off the ARB Turbo Timer before it will start. Sure enough, it fired right up. Maybe that's only when it's cold or every time? I understand the advantage of letting the turbo cool off when it's been run hard or long, but not sure why it has to be off to start the car. Ignition connection?
Normally you would wait for the glow plug light to go off before starting.
No idea about the turbo timer I think they are illegal here.
May I suggest you fit some gauges like an EGT and Boost, you can then switch the motor off
when temps allow.
IMO you dont need a turbo timer, unless you drive like Mario Andretti every day ,,day in day out.
you wont get your turbo glowing, but hey thats just me
cooling system flush and put coolant in it.
Ye I find if u take it easy for the last few km's of the trip the temps will run down quite low.Quote:

That's my view. I could be wrong ;)

You're right though, in real world road driving you'll never see these type of temps and if you do you have bigger things to worry about.
I also let the glow plug light go out and then hit the key, never an issue, if I start it early it choofs white out and can be a bit rough, especially when cold. At the other end I just lifty off a bit before coming to a stop, EGT's get down to 150 ish in no time (10 seconds is the longest I've had to wait I think) and switch it off.
Head one globe gone so, went all out and pulled out the headlights and fitted up some Narva Intense globes before. Much whiter / brighter.
Photo doesn't show full brightness. Will see how they are at night ...
