nixon090 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 Hi People, I have a Feb 04 diesel galxey with a very smokey Aux heater. I know from revious threads that this is usually the glow plug. I am trying to find out how big a problem this is and whether it is actually fit for purpose when sold as the glow plugs seem to go quite quickly ( I think three years is a short time). Anyone who has had a similar problem with this, if they wouldn't mind letting me know how long before it failed. I can try and do some stats on the size of the problem and the time between failures. Cheers ;) ( TDi Ghia, Shadow Blue) Quote

So that'll be an oil and filter change (with the wrong oil), a load of visual checks and a rubber stamp in the book. They bought your silence on the cheap. Quote

You forgot to add Crushed Sills...normally get these free with a ford service Quote
