    Hi all - new to the forum so please bear with me 'till I get into the swing of things - thankyou all in advance of taking the time to look at, and hopefully diagnose my problem.
    I have a 2002 PD engined 130 Bora that has chugged into life reluctantly in the near minus double-digit temperatures lately. Sounds like its starting one cylinder at a time . After about 5 mins of driving today the engine management screen came up with a glow plug symbol. Do you think its just a change of plugs required, and if so which is the best brand and part code I need?

    Thanks again, Kev

    if the glow plug error symbol is coming on and its difficult to start i would change the glow plugs but get a error code readout first... saying that i have recently had starting issues only when the engine is very cold, it takes a while to start, i changed the plugs but its still taking a while to start!!

    if you do go for the plugs get NGK as they are the best ones to go for..
