Hi
My Range Rover has a 4M40 conversion.
Heater plugs rely on driver control with ignition switch delay from ignition on to cranking position
There is a heater plug control relay but no ECU I believe a ballast resistor should be in the circuit.
Ebay sellers want £24 for one.
Can some kind contributor advise me of the spec so I can maybe purchase possibly a wire wound 100W resistor
whose value in ohms I need to know.
At the moment I am putting a near short circuit across the battery putting 12v across 11v heater plugs.
Battery volts drop quite considerably as lots of other operations are going on at the same time.
Many thanks

There is no ballast resistor on the 4M40 - only the 4D56 (2.5) with 6V glowplugs has one.

My 4M40 glowplugs pull 10A each but they are only on for about 10 seconds so the voltage drop isn't a problem.

Hi
Thanks for reply
I must have mistaken the use of MD129299 which I thought was a ballast resistor as fitted to 2.8TD Shogun/Pajero

As advertised online
Many thanks

There are some on eBay that are listed for the wrong models.

On their web site MitzyBitz list it for the 2.5, 2.8 and the V6 (the V6 is a petrol engine!!) HERE

But on eBay they list it correctly as for a 2.5
HERE

Milners list the resistor for use with the 6.2V glow plugs HERE

The 2.8 (4M40) uses 11v/12V glow plugs so no need for a resistor - only the 6.2V plugs in the "Quick Glow" system need the resistor - and that was only fitted to 2.5 (4D56) engines (up to 1993 according to Milners)

Hi
Many thanks for clearing up my Ballast resistor confusion.
