The glow system is designed to switch on and off to provide sufficient heat to allow the Diesel to atomise until the engine is operating at its optimum working temperature.  

Effectively the heating coil inside the glow plug should have enough insulation to retain the heat as long as possible, those with a narrower tip have the best performance.

Glow plug system circuit diagram:




The glow system circuit goes from the battery fuse box:-
 



To the glow plug solenoid, shown top right in this photo:-




To the Bus bar, connecting the glow plugs together:-




This is one design of a glow plug:-





It is simple to test a glow plug either by checking the resistance, whilst it is still fitted, with a voltmeter. Alternatively remove the glow plug and then connect the body of the plug, with a set of jump leads, to the negative pole of the battery. Then use the positive lead to connect the battery to the threaded section. If the end of the plug does not glow bright red, for a good inch or so, within one minute then replace them.




Some of the Various Glowplugs for the 2.8TD 4M40 engine:-

NB: Correct at the time of posting, but may be superceded or discontinued at a later date.
