I have just aquired another Land Rover to go with the long list I have had. It is a 1975 2286 diesel 88". I got it through the MOT last week. I converted to Dieselglow heater plugs. I am a bit spoilt in diesel starting as my old Mercedes 240D starts in seconds. The Land Rover diesel I know is a different animal altogether. Does anybody knows how long is it safe to keep the glowplugs on before they burn out. I have kept the resistor. It seems reluctant to start and needs some time to get going. At the moment I need to keep them on for 45 seconds. The bugger likes to have a good smoke when it starts but clears in a few hundred metres. When the engine is hot it starts instantly. Would a set of reconditioned injectors make for a bit easyier starting. Any advice would be helpful.
