I pulled the switch and tested with my multimeter.
The green glow wire has continuity so all good.
Then I tested for continuity between the end of the Green glow wire and the start On wire, there was none until I turned the switch to the On position.
I imagine there shouldn`t be any...
Thanks!
I know that when it was glowing that the relay is on the on position as I removed the cover on the relay and if I seperate it with a wooden dowel it will connect straight back up again after and start glowing again.
I think I will change the glow plug also as they have been in for...
Hi there and Happy new year to everyone!
So last night, on new years eve at 23:58 my glow plug relay stuck on right after starting.
I have a late '78 24 volt BJ40 wired in series ( manual glow system )
I pulled the fusible link quickly and was able to save any damage as the fireworks where...
Do you have a cheap multimeter at hand? If not they are always good to have to test if the wire is ok
Also, plug in your whole light cluster from the opposite side to test your other cluster.
Here is the wiring diagram for the BJ40 from @Coolerman he is an expert on wiring for our 40's

Hi Guys,
To carry out a parasitic draw test on a 24 volt BJ40 wired in series would I just dissconnect the earth terminal ( nearest the earth strap ) and put my multimeter between the - battery post and battery clamp like a 12v?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Did you try to clean off any corrosion inside the socket? It could also be a broken wire or even at the connection in the block connector.

As they said before, tighten each cylinder tight to the drums, spin the wheel by hand and push the brake pedal between every few clicks to centralize the shoes until tight to the drums, as tight as you can adjust, then back off 2 clicks.
Check to see if they drag slightly, let off one more...
Hi,
You only need just enough brake fluid to cover the end of the clear tube in your bottle / Jar ( and you don't really need any once your first bleed is under pressure before you open the bleeder valve, it will fill the bottle )
Get a second person to pump the brake pedal until it builds...
Hi,
That rear member is Notorious on the 40's
Check whildshield surround, fange on the bulkhead where it joins to Kick vent panel, floors, everything really!
Repair panels are available for these but can be pricey!
Check where the side window surrounds join the FRP roof, moisture gathers...

Hi,
I have a BJ40 with drum brakes, you cannot replace a front stud without removing the whole hub assembly, it won't fit in, some cut them but I wouldn't advise it.
I have the spare here, still have to get around to it

Hey,
I have a '78 BJ40 with the B motor and the guage is on about 1/4 and will raise slightly under load.
Flush your coolant system every year it will help a bit also.

And not forgetting the support he is still giving my business since we first where in...
Thanks for your input 👍
I'm currently removing the bung from the old pump to install on the new one.
The screws on the plate are marked with a marker from the Factory so I'm going to assume that it has a good seal.
If not I can always just pull it back off again and seal it, not a biggie...
Hi everyone,
So I'm replacing my water pump that was making a lot of noise and leaking.
The replacement has arrived finally and came with the gasket too.
Its for an early B diesel motor.
Do you recommend that I open the backing plate on the water pump and seal the gasket there with the high...
Here is a link to one of my Instagram followers, they fitted front disc brakes to that axle from a 60 series.
Just another option for you.
