Burian Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hi, We now have a 1987 110 Landrover with the original 2.5 NA diesel engine. I have replaced the glowplugs but the indicator never seems to go out. How long should the heater light be on and is there a specific timer you can change. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 The light doesn't go out and there is no timer. I usually give it about 5 seconds but I have no idea what the manual says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Are they the correct glowplugs? A friend bought some off Ebay, supposed to be for a 90 Diesel, it would not start. I checked the numbers and they were for a Ford car. He then bought some from a dealer and started straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was assuming the light and power was on a timer. I will experiment with different times until I find one which seems to work. Many thanks.

g0ozs Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I have a 90 with the same engine - I generally count to 5 on hot days, 10 normally and 20 in freezing conditions before starting and it usually starts quickly Regards Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
