Worth trying your local motor factors for bread and butter stuff like glow plugs etc. There's no postage to pay and you might have them in your hand today or first thing tmoro at the latest.

It would appear that Bosch do a sort of universal range of plugs to suit most cars. You'd need to contact them for the part number which would be most suitable for your Disco.

Avoid cheap glow plugs ! I fitted some in mine a couple of months ago and Ive just had to replace them again. One of them takes ages to heat up and glow red and the rest have badly corroded already. I've now used NGK Y-729U ,made in Japan (where I believe they still have quality control and a reputation to uphold) not China .
Well woth buying decent ones , as its a helluva job when they snap off in the head/tip breaks off inside the engine /or just melt.

Well.....In the end I went for NGK (japanese) plugs, they were £8 a plug, the old ones 'Wellman' come out no problem and I am pleased to say there is a marked improvement on starting...1st turn and she is up and running and this has been on cold mornings too.
