biggest fecker you can get in there ,i got a black varta cant remember the number

that's a +1/ditto from me too ..... not only physically but cranking amps counts a lot too

 

[bobthebuilder]

and whilst your in the battery hole .,there are a fair number of wires and a couple of big connectors give em a wipe and a look over ,a place for rodents

Fitted new 120ah 1000 CCA battery, hopefully do the trick.

now all you need to do is confirm ALL of your glow plugs're functional

 

[jodb69]

I know the voltage drops when on pre heat, how would I find out the functionality of them from here?

 

[DaveDCB]

If it’s still acting up I’d probably just replace the glow plugs.. may be horribly stuck in and awkward to get at

It's not been cold enough to know yet Dave

disconnect the links and measure each individually - BRIEFLY - soon tell if one isn't drawing current -- don't cook them

V8 so what your saying is disconnect 3 of them and repeat what I did before and see if there is a dip in voltage off the multimeter/ battery and see if each one draws?

I’d disconnect all of them and get a wire from the positive on the battery and touch each one individually and if it sparks when connected it’s probably a good one

Not funny now all this glowplugs talk. ...glowplugs now playing up on little Perkins in compact tractor. Intermittently work mostly not.
Can I find the fault....can I heck. Proper swine and it's a dog to start without em

I can’t remember recommended resistance but if you remove the bus bar and do an individual resistance check terminal-block you should see the same resistance over all four. I’ll try to find out when I’m back in work. Otherwise it’s switches, relays and wiring checks.

I’ve run a wire from the buz bar through a bulb and can keep an eye on the power to them as I use them
Will eliminate relays and switches if all good
