Hi


I am looking to replace glow plugs on the ML.


I wanted to know which brand is good to fit.
Original from Mercedes/ NGK/ Bosch.


Roughly how much labour charge would you say is appropriate if I source parts.

    If you're getting them fitted, let the garage source them - not only will many places refuse to fit customer-supplied parts, but in the event of a problem, it saves a LOT of arguing about whether it was the part or the fitting that was to blame.

    As per what Adrian says, however i'd ask the garage what make they will be fitting. I've previously used Bosch which are a good balance been price and quality, but as long as they're not using a spurious unknown motor factors brand they should be fine.
