This was the newest thread I saw about glow plugs so...

...I've taken the car out of storage and have been driving it the last week or so. From cold every morning it takes several cranks before it starts - just at the point where I've started wondering is it gonna start - it then starts. When warm it fires on the first crank, so I thought maybe my glow plugs were on the way out. I've read around and then shopped around and at this stage I'm confused. 7zap tells me it's the same part number for all D3 diesels. Is this correct? Reason I'm curious is looking through €bay I see plugs listed but when I put in my car it says it's not suitable, but then when I change the car to a 4.2 it says it is suitable?? Also can I tell if I have metal or ceramic before it's removed? I will do a scan tomorrow, although (another question!)can my glow plugs be duff without throwing a fault?
