Been looking at glow plugs on eBay. There seems to be a range of brands and prices so I'd like to know which are best please.
Thanks in advance.

Beru plugs are OE and good too . . . .

Got NGKs in mine and have been working well. I personally would stick with Beru, Bosch or NGK. Cheap ebay ones don't last and I wouldn't want them in my engine.

bosch duraterms are a wise investment, cheap plugs only tend to last a month at best

Had a set of NGK in mine around 2 years ago now, still starts perfect with one heat now regardless of the temperature outside

Bosch duraterms.
I found that NGK work faster but don't last as long

Any of the "thin tipped" ones work far faster, but also burn out sooner, but ive found the NGK ones to be best of the bunch in that respect, still last a good ammount of time...

Unipart's own 'brand' glowies are NGK just a heads up. Could be a cheaper purchase
