Cars are not scrapped because of bad glow plug relays. So the wrecking yards are a good source. If you can get one for five dollars or so especially.
The problem is since they are a consumable item with use it is more of an unknown of how long they will last . The ones I have picked up in this fashion have lasted well so far.
I even got a couple of spare units when the price was good. I just ask the price of certain parts when visiting salvage yards. Cheap I buy.
Or is it that I am cheap.
Ultimatly they can be sold on ebay if a friend or I never need them or I aquire too many. One sale in that fashion would pay for many of them.
