Glow Plug Question

Post by Terapixels » Sun Jun 12, 2011 3:37 pm

Hi All,

I am planning to change the glow plugs as starting on cold mornings is a little irritating for me and my neighbours. My Bongo has the 102mm type installed and just wondered whether anyone has used Halfords to buy compatible ones? Thanks in advance.

what, as in halfords own brand?
Personally i would stick to a decent proven quality brand like NGK.
Dont want teach you to suck eggs but if you are going to change them yourself make sure the engine is stone cold, preferably not driven that day as the can be sod to get out and if they shear off in the head you'll wish you'd bought a V6.

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

Thanks for the tips. It's just that I have a Halford near me and I have not run the van today at all so I thought I will seize the opportunity!
