My 99 TD5 D2 seems to enjoy a set of glowplugs a year.
According to Justin Cooper this is not a common problem with the TD5.
I will admit I have only used the "Common Branded" glow plugs that MOST specialist Landy parts suppliers stock in the past.
The other possible issue,I have 1 damaged "spark plug boot" on 1 glowplug,that could be coming loose then the other 3 get burnt out in sympathy???? Its common on jap diesels to burn out the rest of the plugs when one fails.
Awaiting a price on some good quality glowplugs,dont mind spending the extra as long as I will get more than one season from them.
Anybody else have had glow plug problems in the TD5????
Thanks

SupporterAndrew,My TD5 seems to start ok without glowing,admittedly a bit rough on very cold mornings.Though I suppose temperatures are lower in Williams.

It starts fine Geoff,you just have to keep cranking it until it fires.Its only an issue if the battery is a bit low.
Once its been started its all good.
Many have suggested fuel pump,had this problem for over 5 years,guessing if the pump was lazy it would be long dead by now.
Once a new set of glowplugs goes in normality resumes

nope, the indication comes from the side of the relay that does the switching, not the acutal powering of the glow plugs..
