Glow Plugs

[Chaz]

Has anyone fitted glow plugs from Milner and if so are they any good ?

They quote £8 each for a 2003 Terrano TD

I have been quoted around £28 each from Nissan, ATS, and my local garage

To be honest I got mine from this site, they are NGK and I think they are better quality. The Milner ones vary as to which supplier they use.
These are the ones for the TD yours may be different so check with them first.
They are very quick at responding.

Quick delivery from dispatch, and cheap too, and discount on postage as well for more than 1.

Make sure thay are NGK, when I ordered my last pair, he hadn't got NGK, so I said I would wait. He had them in a few days.
Best regards, Rustic

My 'troll is in tomorrow at Westway Nissan for a service - and I'm having them fit a new set of glow plugs too. They're £26 each plus VAT, which in context ain't that much. From Milner's, they are £13+VAT+P&P each.

Keep the old good ones as spares and throw away the faulty ones.:thumb2

I don't think I would re-use 5yr old glow plugs anyway. If I were going to do that, I might as well have them change only the faulty ones to start with.

5 years is about the life of them I guess, when they go they seem to blow out one side of the tip.
I have only replaced as they go, on the Mav none intercooler they are easy to get to. So 10 minute job.
