as long as you have voltage at them take one out and connect it (pair of jump leads is useful for this, it's normal neg is thro the engine block) and see if it gets hot (it'll burn your fingers so be careful), repeat with the remaining ones.

Had starting issues last year on mine, once it finally fired it was a lumpy tickover until it warmed up a bit, new set of glowplugs off the bay cured it.

Range Rover Blues:
If that doesn't fix it then check ytou are getting fuel to the injectors(crack an injector line loose and look for spill).

Replaced the glow plugs

The ones i took out were almost new

Turns out it was the glow plug relay/timer  :roll: :roll:

all ok now  :dance: :dance:

mattyme:
the glow plug realy is in the engine bay and open to all the elements. and as we all probably know... relays dont like water too much!! lol

ive wrapped mine in a condom.... not the right job for the tool so to speak, but, it works a treat!!
