Was a general knowledge question tbh as it applies to my more modern alfa engine with the JTDM engine in it. Apparently someone at alfa made a change in the head design and forgot to tell anyone so there are two types of glow plugs. Short or long haha. Both fit in the long type head so if some are short it causes terrible starting and possible rough running.
Thinking it could be crapped or swirl flaps or something now so probably gonna strip them out.
Interesting to know it makes almost no difference though. And fair play bash for running with a bolt in it haha. Good temp fix
Pug is still reliable as ever! Brilliant car it has been tbh and considering the stick Peugeot get for unreliability its never let me down. In fact it has always ran exactly perfect once I had done all the basics on it!
