Hi!
My wifes Defender 90 (2.5l TD 63kw, 08/1990) cranks not as willingly as usual, seems he (yes, _he_ - my wife never would use a female car
*g*) has realized that the winter is to come, at the moment around 0 Celsius :( Only after a few tries he awakes, exhausting a large cloud of smoke, then it takes about 10 seconds for him to run as smooth as nothing had happened, if this kind of diesel engine ever runs smooth :-)What should we do? The battery is relatively new, and the glow plugs had been changed one year ago or so.
What I will do is check the glow plugs; is it enough to measure the resistance and/or power consumption of each single one, or do I have to take them out to be sure?
Any hint is highly welcome! Thanks in advance.
regards - Ralph
