Mikef Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 Now that winter is approaching, its time to pull my finger out and try fitting a new glow plug (to avoid being laughed at as I drive along putting out huge amounts of white smoke...). Does anyone know where you can find them these days? Theres a great thread on here which details how to do the job, so will spend an evening or two reading up... cheers all mikef Quote
