Which Glow Plugs Are No Good?

I see alot of guys here do not like the Champion glow plugs because they swell and break off. Now I think it was Champion or was it Autolite well which ever it was are the Bosch plugs any good or have there been problems with them too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Thanks guys as always
Marc

only get Beru plugs. This is what they came with and they are the only ones that function well. Champion and Autolite both fail quickly.

I had a set of Bosh plugs an they only lasted 2 months. spend the money on the good ones unless you just enjoy changing plugs.
