If you have power to the plugs the next step is to see if they are working, either with a multi meter or take the out and connect them across a battery to see if they glow.

Probably varies considerably but it appears probable that by the time starting became a problem for me 3 glow plugs were faulty so you are probably making a wise choice. I bought BERU - which are the genuine "Citroen" part according to the box. £6 a piece from eurocarparts.com (they have a local outlet).

Are they very good Glow plugs???and are u having any problems with them?

I would definitely use Beru and give Champions a miss, and Halfords own a VERY wide berth!!!

halfords in leeds source quite a lot of parts from andrew pages i find i can play them off against each other to get a cheaper price

I've used Halfords and so has a friend and had no problems.

Well they are the genuine manufacturers part. If there was a problem with them you would probably see a lot of complaints in this group, whereas a google groups search shows very little for glow plugs at all, except warnings about Halfords own branded product.

I have only just fitted mine replacing Bosch which were probably the 1997 originals.
