About a tenner each on TC - £60 + VAT, ouch.
Any better prices for reasonable quality glowplugs?

1 was 1.1 ohm
2 were open

Nope, only effect starting......and probably will still start with all 6 knackered.....i only changed mine, coz i was selling it and to get the warning to go away from the dash!
3 outa the 4 on my c220 were knackered and it still started.....ok took a few more turns in wintery weather, but still started :y
