guys, did some digging around to see if this had been discussed before and cold not find anything so ....

what are peoples opinions/recommendations around glow plugs for a 1995 GQ 300K's

Ebay had some bosch ZPN-02119 up for sale.... mine need replacing, if I don't sequentially light the glow plugs 3 times the ol girl turns over for a few seconds before firing+pugg of black smoke so...starting exampleis ...ignition on...glow light on.... glow light turns off ...ignition off... switch ignition back on, wait till light off and repeat... then turn her over and viola! instant start.

so I believe the plugs need replacing...

thoughts on plugs please for a 4.2 turbo engine :)

10 seconds heat time.. don;t remember the glow light staying on for that time... time to record the glow light time....

thoughts?
