[Sean]

did the garage give you a price for replacing it ?

its easy to test your glow plugs without taking them out .undo all the wires to the glow plugs get a multimeter or 12v light bulb one end on the live of the battery the other end on top of each glow plug if it reads 12v or the bulb lights up that plug is ok most probably the glow plugs these are what startit when cold and are cheapest remidy around £40 squid a set

How does that show that the glow plug actually works?

 

[Grit Valve]

if it dosent work the it wont register as the circut is broken but the bulb trick wont tell you if its worn a multimeter will as the voltage will register lower !!

So shouldn't you be testing the resisitance with your multimeter and not the voltage then?

 

[Grit Valve]

yes true ratty but for some reason if the glow plug wears it registers a lower voltage dont ask me why im not hynstine

I've never heard of this but I'll have a go when I am next testing the resistance on some and see what happens. Can't do any harm.
