I have just taken my brand new parallel glow plugs out to find they are not working!
first of all I wired them with the existing ballast resistor in (as the diagram said that they came with) and they barely heated up. This is straight from the battery so no dodgy earths/connections either. I read on here a few posts saying parallels should not have the resistor in so I took it out the circuit.
After many attempts of trying to start the landy I have realised I have burnt the plugs out.
How have you got yours wired? Resistor in or out? what do you guys think about going back to series type glow plugs?
