I replaced mine last year (at 7 years old) none of them were working! only one got luke warm, the rest did not.
Do them all. Twist / turn them as you pull / lever them out. 1953 80" 1987 mini city e 2011 90" |

so with none of them working how bad did things get?
what I mean is with one not working do you even notice. if not this should be considered against the potential problems caused should it shear off while trying to remove it? |

Maybe a second or two slower to start in the winter but I didn't even realise. I wanted to clean the inlet manifold of muck and thought to do them at the same time as they are not expensive.
I found it easy but then am good with the spanners! 1953 80" 1987 mini city e 2011 90" |

Shouldn't there be DTC's logged with glow plug faults? Obviously no MIL or you'd have noticed.
I thought they were on the radar so to speak with ECU monitoring. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ And if You Love the Country, then we’re on the same side ~ I got’ love for Britain, I got’ British pride’. 🇬🇧 |

Are glow plugs really needed on moderate climates? Puma 110" SW
