Re: glow plugs
i take it they're out of your old prado which would be funny cause they'd be from almost the same motor.

Re: glow plugs
any good diesel shop should test em for free, and then you only replace the ones that are knackered. $25 a plug incl gst isnt bad

ah then they definiately wouldn't work in the blizzy....spoke to it's origional owner today and found out that it's the old (non hand grenade) 2l motor with the turbo added later and the intercooler off an older supra and was running 12psi when he had it.......................................

hadn't thought about getting them tested (truck not starting at all so may just get 4 new ones and then get the old ones tested to keep as spares. (pain in the arse to get off tho thanks to said top mount intercooler)

Re: glow plugs
Real easy to test. Using jump leads place the earth round the threaded part of glowplug and put positive to pin on top of glowplug and if they "glow" after about 5-10 secs they're good if not then you need new ones

the way my engine bay is set out makes changing them a pain so decided to just change the whole lot, so will do that test once i have them all swapped and then i can have some spares from the good ones
