Isuzu engined diesel heater plugs - freddy1
sorry not sure of the yr or model type , tiz a gold coloured 4 door diesel corsa , , i was told the engine is the Isuzu one , anyway the heater plugs have been checked and work ok , but it seems that the glow light is going out early , and is struggling to start, is there a timer relay or something obvious that can be changed/checked?

thanks

alan

What make glow plugs are fitted to this?The resistance and current draw is critical on these Isuzu engine models for the system to function correctly.Use either genuine GM or equivalent NGK/Ntk types.hth
