    Usually 24V jap stuff runs elec system in 24v and an invertor for the 12v, so you dont draw the accessories of one battery alone, but yours 24vs to crank then runs the accessories of both batteris, mmmmm, stoopid 24V sytems
    According to a bus-mechanic mate it's very common. It lets you run the whole vehicle (incl charge system) on 12v with both batteries in parrallel. Only switching to 24v for starting while not blowing up the rest of the vehicle.

    May well be common in trucks and buses, I only based that on a few Patrols and small trucks I've worked on, so wouldn't say I know

    May as well use a bloody 12V starter, avoids all the unnesessary switch gear

    I think it might be a 12v starter. Gets off it's **** with 24v on it's tail, but would be slow and painful with 12.

    Do you have a geared starter or direct drive?

    the isuzu as fitted to the landrover should have a reduction drive startermotor and on initation can draw more than 600 amps and then usually settles to about 300 or so.

    the glow circut should draw between 60 and 80 amps.

    some trucks have a direct drive 24v unit and internally ist basically a sereis III diesel starter motor....

    when it start to give you trouble turf it and your 24v starting system and install the reduction drive starter.

    Damn that's a good price Gerry, they are normaly around the 1500 $ mark.
    I can't fathom why you would want a 24v starter??????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????

    The standard gear reduction isuzu starter only draws 110amps whilst cranking, I have tested a few after rebuilding them. And I'm pretty sure they are mitsubishi starters also.
    A full charged N70 gets my starter motor humming like a cheap pro on speed!!!!

    Back on topic - I think my glow plugs are connected - there is an orange light on the dash, but it only ever comes of for a fraction of a second - even at really cold temperatures.
