Thanks ATXKJ.
Have bought 7 Volt Etecno glow plugs. Feel I don't need glow plugs for starting where I live so if they are not as hot as the ceramics, it will not make any difference. Was even thinking of eliminating them to see how easy it will start, but would strike trouble if I went far south to the cold country.

What year is your CRD?
If it is has the Glow plug controller then you will pick up a CEL if you disconnect the glow plugs
My 2002 Export 2.5 CRD does not have a glow plug controller...just 11 volt glow plugs switched on by two fat relays.
I can disconnect my glow plugs easily and it will not post a CEL....starts OK although a bit rough at first....I also live in a warm climate although probably nothing like Northern Australia!
