Question: I understand essentially how a turbo timer works, but, not having one, I assume youhave to leave the vehicle in neutral for it to work right?
If this is the case, I always leave my vehicle in gear...

I might as well wait the 30 seconds for it to cool down then huh?
Also, I slow down the last 2-3 km of my journey to assist engine cool down. So maybe a timer ain't for me? |

| Fair enough... it's up to you (keep it under 80kmh) for the last minute or so and gradually slow down. |

if yuh handbrakes working good, is no problem to leave it in neutral, but i understand what u saying bout yuh habit.
btw, there are sum timers that require that the hand brake be engaged, if not the engine turns off when u turn off the vehicle(so it works like there is no timer installed) |

| when we bought the ranger, i had the tubotimer installed - the way i see it even if you forget to leave the truck idle for 30 sec - the turbo time will do it for u - to me its one less thing to remember to do exiting the ranger. |

Thats what I do, then sit and relax for a while before shutting off
You get time to spend alone just sitting with your van  |
