I just bought the same a Clive, looks like the last set as well, as he now shows no stock, odd as he only showed 2 to start, does that mean clive bought the other set? Rick

Just found another alternative, Champion CH 126, (good make) or Beru 921MJ. also a good make, unfortunately, as I am on a laptop on a dongle my search times are far too long to be able to get vehicle applications accurately in a reasonable time, perhaps someone on a fast land line can do this for me, and indeed any one else that needs a non ceramic glow plug, Rick

If your trying to find out if ceramic or not I will have a quick nose for you

Plenty of info on champion plugs but not that model it seems

solarman216 · 19-09-2014, 20:00

problem with pics like those of the Beru, they are generic, so no real guide, thanks for trying, Rick

Oh fudge, just seen the piston pics, that's frightening. We should make a sticky about this, this could potentially write of a truck!!

I'm actually alarmed as to what plugs I have fitted now...

solarman216 · 23-09-2014, 19:31

got my Lucas LP079 glow plugs today and they are indeed metal ones £44.24 inc delivery, same place Lazy Ferret got his, but will have to have a look to see if any more are available, Rick

solarman216 · 23-09-2014, 19:36

Lazy-Ferret · 23-09-2014, 19:42

That is the sort of price the CERAMIC ones are, I think you need to get one out and compare it to my pics, Rick

Oh pants... I'll have to have a look, luckily all the glow plugs came out good as gold...

They were blueprint ones if if helps?

Finally got round to fitting the new Lucas glow plugs to the Mrs car today as starting was getting slower, found 1 was not working, and decided to check the ones in mine, just as well I did as removed 4 good ceramic ones, they will sit on the shelf never to be used, refitted the 4 from the Mrs motor, and it still starts better than hers, so proving the the compressions are good also gave the turbo a rudimentary test, plenty of pressure to push my hand off the turbo outlet, now to order some more Lucas plugs for mine, Rick
