    Wanted  24v timer pre heater

    I am in the process of converting my 24v bj42 1982 glow plug system into a Wilson switch version. I do however prefer the old automatic timer-preheater. Has anyone an old 24v 28521-57010 that I could use to cannibalise and repair my mechanically compromised version over the long winter months?

    3B diesel glow plug problems

    Has anyone any clues on how the timer pre heater on my 1982 bj42 works? My glow plug light has decided to stop working. The engine now starts reluctantly and runs rough for a minute then OK.

    24 volt versus 12 volt battery amperage

One suppliers recommendation was that a 12 volt landcruiser required a 90 A/H battery therefore a 24 volt landcruiser required two 12 volt batteries each of 90 A/H. . With my not...
