So I am psyching myself up to changing the glow plugs on my 09 plate LR3, approximately 84k miles and owned from new.
Its running rough on start up for a minute or so and white smoke etc. Ran error codes but of course it only tests relay not plugs but I was told a few years back that one or more glow plugs were out at a service and before I started servicing myself.
I'm a fairly competent mechanic, planning to buy one of those low torque air wrenches and soak the plugs beforehand. It could be easy or it could be a complete barsteward but once I've started I can't really stop.
Question is, which glow plugs to buy? I could buy cheap c. £ 38 or I could buy Bosch or NGK, which, too be honest are not going to break the bank. I am erring towards NGK but does anyone have any experience/opinions....?

I'm told Euro Car Parts have a set of 6 for £112.80p delivered.
Not sure of manufacturer's details or quality but might be worth a look?
