I have recently bought a landy disco 200tdi which has a BES brand turbo timer fitted. the lights all work on the facia unit and the timer changes from 0.5 to 5 mins in sequence when the minute button is pressed but the engine stops immediately when the key is turned off whatever the timer is set 4.
am i right in thinking that the engine should not stop running for that preset time in order to continue lubricating the turbo while it is still hot. If i am does anyone have any experience with common fault fixes i might try??
thanks in advance guys
sounds like the timer has power to it but is not correctly / not connected to the ignition, some BES units are conected via the plug that goes to the ignition via a pigy back plug, others are "hard wired" in to the circuit. pull the covers off the steering colum and check it out, if is a pigy back plug check the wires are all conected to the plug properly, if it is har wired get a wiring diagram from BES they are usually very helpfull
If the above post did not offend you in any way please PM me so I can try harder!!
my turbo timer is earthed through the handbrake... basicly this means if the timer is set on say 2 mins, then u turn the key off but do not pull the handbrake on the engine will stop... same goes if you take the handbrake off while the car is in the turbo timer countdown.. kills it straight away..
try that??
otherwise maybe try get hold of an installation manual for one the same or similar and make sure its hooked up right...

thanks for the help guys. hopefully i'll be able to get it sorted.
ps do you know if BES have a web site, i am struggling to track them down with online searches!
Now and then it will not keep the car running after I turn the key off.
I usually press the buttons a few times and change the time and then it works fine. It does this every week or so.. I just thought it was a fault with the unit.
Does it only do this on the 4min setting?? Or all settings?
