WELL,I guess not!
How many of the old crappy regular Duraterm type glowplugs would they be
able to sell in America ,If we could buy these?

awsrock 07-16-2008 05:38 PM

Ooh. I want some! Any idea on price?

bgkast 07-16-2008 07:24 PM

I wish my GPs had a "gleaming chrome glow tube" :D

attendez-vous sil vous plait
 
"NOT AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES"

Robert Bosch North America KNOWS NOTHING about them.

I am hoping some of the European members know of these.

I sent "Parrot of Doom" an inquiry by PM.
Perhaps his Doomness will know more?

AWSROCK,

I'd pay AT LEAST $10.00 more per plug...3 (THREE) year warranty!
(AND if the soot wouldn't build up and stick to the "Chromium"...)

Great plugs, have them in my conversion to assist with cold veg starting -

Bought a couple of sets from here http://www.helptoday.co.uk/company/contact.asp

Cannot recommend them enough on price and service, without getting the invoice out they were about £3/4 each + shipping

The chrome adds +5hp inside the combustion chamber!

Gloom and Doom!
 
Nice gentleman at helptoday in Lincoln (England) told me that Bosch ceased
making the duraterm Chromiums in 1992 !

I wonder why they did that? (HINT)

wonder if
 
We could get together and buy a pile of these for all of us at a reasonable
price?

Really? That is awesome!

I'd be up for getting together to order some. I was planning on replacing my plugs for winter at some point anyway!

pawoSD 07-17-2008 10:36 PM

Uh, I think it was mentioned above that they have been out of production for 16 years. :D ;)

awsrock 07-17-2008 10:38 PM

Well. I am confused now :D
They are listed on the Bosch website though...

pawoSD 07-17-2008 10:40 PM

If they are still indeed produced or for sale I'd want them too..... :) I wonder if it actually makes any difference in starting....probably not.
