Thought I had an issue with the glow plug indicator on dash but after reading about different voltage ratings I pulled mine and checked. Turns out they were 11.4v rated in a 12v H engine.

After a fair old bit of research I ordered NGK Glow Plug Y-128T as a replacement.

Arrived today but I was nervous that they were longer than the ones I've taken out.

After a lot of measuring and checking cross section diagram from engine manual I installed them.

A nervous crank did not end up with them smashed to pieces by pistons

Glow indicator now glows nicely and engine starts much better and less time on glow plug relay.

Happy days
 
The reason glow plugs are fitted with a lower rating is because there is not 12 volts available when you switch on the ignition, and the glow plugs are heating up.
