Without hijacking the thread (apologies)...
But is there a period plugs should be replaced within in ??? My 06 TD just hit 170k. And even on coldest mornings it starts and runs fine , every time.
Or only if they start playing up ?
The glow plug relay goes off when the coolant temps hit 30-32c on my car.
