    What brand of Glow Plug

    Having driven 340,000Km on the same glow plugs I was thinking it may be time to replace them but not sure what Brand to use.
    REPCO have a BOSC glow plug for $36 each,
    on this forums link to Patrol Parts original plugs are $63.75 each, or
    if I go to the local NISSAN dealer they are $95 ea.

    My question is is their a difference between the original and the BOSC that justifies the original being twice the price of the BOSC or is there a better brand to buy?

    Hey mate.

    The REPCO ones will most likely do the job I guess, not had much experience with their glow plugs but there's a reason why the genuine ones last 340000 k's and more... Id say get genuine from patrolapart.com, used them for heaps of genuine parts at a fraction of the price that dealerships charge!
