A quick update to this post - I've just put them in and the improvement is remarkable. The old ones were eroded to half there original tip length and one in particular had no tip to speak of. I am now of the opinion "if in doubt, change them out."
Got mine from Patrol A Part and price was pretty good compared to local. Only complaint was Australia Post again. One tracking note when PAP dispatched them and a second one telling me they were on board for delivery which was emailed to me by AP about an hour after they arrived. Still AP are good entertainment.

Have had the NGK Glow Plugs in now for a week. All seems good, starts first go. Turned out the old ones were also NGK.
