GQ TD42 Glow Plugs

No you cannot adjust it Did you change the fuel filter about the time you noticed this problem ?

Linga Longa,

next time your in the car ready for cold start turn iginition on, the glow light goes out in a few seconds but if you listen carefully (no rafdio in background) you will hear the glowplug relay cut out after about ten seconds (faint click noise) and the lights on the dash get get a little brighter, once this happens try turning it over. I think youll be pleasantly surprised to see it start nearly instantanouesly. This is what i found with mine anyway. If it works you'll probably be thinking did i really need to cahnge those glowplugs afterall??

You'll find if you turn the key halfway between ignition and cranking there is a manuel position where the glow plugs will turn on, you'll hear the relay click on.
Try that, failing that check the glow plug timer, behind the kick panel on drivers side, maybe swap with a mates to eliminate that problem.

Gday,
When it is cold I always glow the plugs twice to be sure to be sure. The vehicle starts easily 1st time.
