Any idea how long glow plugs should last, replaced mine two years ago but noticed it was a bit slow to start this morning just as the weather is turning colder, was 1 degree.

Had some last year's and others 6 months. I've always used Bosch or NGK.

Do they show up as a fault on Nanocom or will I have to test them individually?

Don't know, pull them out and use a set of jump leads to test each one. Spit on the end and if it sizzles its ok.

And when I took them out last night one had snapped in half inside and another is definitely duff. Looks like you're lucky f they last 2 years.

Who said they didn't? That's about as good as it gets though.

Probably broken inside to cause that.
