When you go to the Diesel Giant sit and his pages open up it often looks like what you were looking for is not there. You have to scroll down the page to see the text and pics.
Bosch or Beru Glow Plugs are the only ones that hold up well. The Bosches are easier to find, cost less and are just as effective.
Totally avoid Autolite Glow Plugs. After 3 months use the tips of 2 of mine had swelled up and I had trouble getting them out.
You also might want to consider reaming/cleaning out the Carbon in the glow plug holes. They will work better and some claim the Carbon build up can shorten the life of the new Glow Plugs.
We also have a DIY, Do it yourself section on how to do many of the jobs.
