Right I know that I have a glow plug problem, due to a friend (Works for the RAC) did a fault check and it came up GLOW PLUG ERROR. (EML on for 30 seconds after cold starting)
I have just done a resistance check on all glow plugs and here are the readings
Cylinders from front of engine...
Cyl 1 = 24.3 ohms
Cyl 2 = 1.6 ohms
Cyl 3 = 0.4 ohms
Chl 4 = 0.2 ohms
Right the question is have I got 3 plugs knackered or 1 plug knackered?? (2.2dti Engine)
Cheers in advance
Simon ;)

I would guess that you just have one knackered glowplug on No 1 cyl.
Without opening Trade club I don't know which plugs your car takes, but if you look ay my post re my diseasal Astra, my good plugs had a resistance of around 0.6 Ohms but the failed one was 60something Ohms.

I might as well replace the full set so that I know they are all reliable.
Does this look a good price or would anyone suggest a good place to buy them...

If you join "Autobahnstormers" for £20 a year you get access to Vx "trade club" gives you commmon service parts at much reduced prices - can save over £80 on your first visit ....
example ..
Oil Vx semi/ synth 10W/40
Retail price 5 ltrs £25.90
Trade club price 5 ltrs £ £10.89
Special Trade club offer ... 4 for the price of 3 ..
so 20 ltrs for £32.67 which retail would cost £103.60 (exc VAT)
with VAT thats £38.39 against £121.73 .... :)
My local dealers also give me a discount of around 8% on non-tradeclub items .. :)
