Monark Glow Plugs

Getting ready to order a set of glow plugs and saw that Monark has a brand of them.

Anyone given these a try? Thanks.

Monark and Champions are junk, I've seen the tips break off, I wouldn't waste my money on either of those.

I had Monarks in My Car here in S CA and one went bad in about 1.5 Years and the Glow Plugs were not stressed by Winter Temps and I reamed out the Carbon before they were installed.
No tips broke off.
I replaced them with Bosch Plugs.

Beru all the way! Made in Germany! Here is where to order: Glow Plugs for Mercedes - US Distributor of genuine BERU products - Kingsborne Wires Werks
Very fast order filling (ordered at night and were shipped mid-morning!), came fast, and according to Tram, less than Bosch. I have yet to install them, but from what I have found they are better than Bosch. I will do an update when I get a reamer.
