Hello,
I was wondering if someone out there can recommend their favourite glow plugs for an l400 2.8. It is extremely slow and smokey starting in the morning so I think it is time to replace them.
Thanks for the help,
Will

Re: Best glow plugs?
The "Green Top" NGK's are regarded as the best. They are expensive, but superb.
Glen at Coombs Country Auto stocks them.
Question:
Are you waiting until "second click" before starting? That is, put key in, turn, watch glow plug light, wait for it to go off, then keep waiting a couple of seconds until you hear a "click". - THEN start your engine.

Re: Best glow plugs?
Wow! I replaced my glow plugs a year ago and was beginning to think it was time again already. I wasn't even aware I should wait for a second click. I always just waited for the light to go out then started. Mine has been starting rough lately.
Today, I waited for a second click (it comes from under the dash above the glove box somewhere). That makes a huge difference! Starts like a charm now.
Thanks for the info Mr Flibble.
