I'm wondering whether the glow plugs are becoming a consumable item on these cars as they get older, I have replaced mine every winter for the last 3 years, last two sets were Beru, NGK before that.

Hot-start fix will lead to them burning out faster but other than that they should be OK.

Never had to change glow plugs in 9 years, but then the car doesn't do a lot of short runs with frequent starts.
