Terrano Glow Plug Timer

[maxnz]

Hi everyone

Once again I need your expert help on this

Does anyone know how to increase the time the glow plus are on before starting the engine in a TD27 Terrano from 1995?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

You cant change it.
What is actually wrong with it?

you can change it, using a after market glow plug timer but hooking into the OEM glow plug relay. i have done this on mine can go from 3 to 15 seconds.

Oh right thanks for your answers!

Well we have 86 Landcruiser with a changable preheat Timer, it is set to 12 seconds. On cold mornings it makes for so much nicer starting so I was wondering if it was possible on a terrano, is it hard to instal an aftermarket Timer?

no you are basically replacing /bypassing an already existing timer.
you terrano ...should.... have a preheat switch on the dash by the steering column somewhere. have you tried using that when starting in the morning?

Oh no! haha what does the switch look like?
My Terrano is still a d21 not an r50 tho
