Glow Plugs

I have never changed the glowplugs in my Pajero. The service advisor that i spoke to at Mitsubishi tells me that you do not need to change glow plugs unless there is a problem with them, and he says you will know if there is a problem.

Any advice?

does it struggle to start when cold? Smoky?

If not, don't worry about them.

My 2005 3.2DID has 200,000km on the clock and I checked my glow plugs a week ago. They all behaved the same and in order.

4 x new ones, quoted by the dealer about 2 weeks ago, is R727 VAT incl.

Thanks for the advice guys - didn't change them.

It does not struggle to start, and the smoke is no more than expected (a small puff when starting)

Thanks Again!
