Hi folks,
Xantia 1.9TD 95N
Glowplugs need changing and as I have every intention of keeping this old but reliable motor for at least 18 months I'd like your thoughts and recommendations on the best make of plug to buy.

Bosch worked for me. Halfords own didn't. (on a BX XUD)
cheers, clive
Bosch are pretty good by all accounts. Shame they don't do them for my Focus.
These guys have glow-plugs for gbp 6.80 for your car.

Don't know what make they are though. The sell different makes - Champion, Denso etc.
cheers

The message from "Graham" contains these words:
I've used cheap glows before - never again. Ended up changing them for proper ones a few weeks later after they all blew.
two types for XUD
TD type cost more but work OK
Non TD type will burn out in days if fitted in TD (They look identical)
Go to GSF or Euro car parts

PS enjoy the changing. I hope you have very long this pinkies
