Hi all
My first post,
I'm now the proud owner of a red 93 E300d 130000K FSH nice cond. :D
But it needs glow plug\s and wears the outside of the front tyres (could just be tracking but its a bit low on the front)

Any way I've noiced on e-bay cheap sets of glow plugs, has anyone tried them or know if they are any good. :confused:
Its a few years since I've had a diesel and Beru or Bosch used to be the ony ones to fit.

Also it has no rear head rests and a larger than normal tank, seems an odd spec has anyone else had one similar.

Cheers
Phil

Don't touch them mate.

I bought a cheap set for my w123 and they *ALL* failed after two journeys!

www.helptoday.co.uk are excellent for Bosch duraterms but unfortunatley they don't stock the ones for the 606 :( I just bought Beru ones from ECP
