Quick question guys Smile you lot seem to know a damn good amount about diesels.

If glow plugs weren't long enough so they weren't reaching the cylinder. Could this cause a slightly rough idle even after the engine has warmed? Possibly due to there being uneven cylinder compression ratio as there is a gap where a glow plug would normally be?

Thanks Big Grin
