Hi Chopper,

If you are not sure about the Glow Plug Starter, the easiest way to check it is to test it.
Make sure it is charged up fully, remove your glow plug from the engine and place the plug in the starter, look inside the glow plug whilst it is in the starter, you should be looking for a very bright orange glow, This glow can almost appear white sometimes, that is a very healthy glow and will start your engine no problem.

If you are still unsure about the starter, they are cheap enough to replace, I use a Pro-tech one which is rechargeable and comes with the charger. They only cost about £10.

The Glow Plug itself is another consideration, there are many different makes out there but I have found the most reliable and best ones to be OS or Enya Plugs. They may cost slightly more but they do seem to last longer and the performance on these speaks for itself.

Regards.......Mark.
