[QUOTE="Pennine Ploughing, post: 6557808, member: 999"] wrong on that, the glow plugs are 1.5 volt each, the pepper pot is 4 volts this equals 10 volt, putting 12 volts into the system creates similar to a slow blow fuse, that is where the glow comes from, thus creating heat, again modern heater plugs are built far more robust and reliable than old ones, the timer on new plugs, is so the driver of new cars does not have to do it manually, that would be beyond a lot of town folk, yes you will see the light on the dash only be on for a few seconds, and go out, But the heater plugs on most cars will still glow for up to a minute or longer after the car is started, this is to get a cleaner burn, and lower emissions, that's why you don't see Smokey cars on start up, so no timer is needed, plugs will be fine, this seems a long way round to save £4, as Mercedes 220 heater plugs are about £1 each dearer, and are the same dimensions and thread size/ pitch as old glow plugs, and any good motor factor will have them, for a quick easy direct replacement [/QUOTE]
