Narrowboat Engine - Vetus Glowplugs ?

T66 - 29/10/15 at 08:29 PM

Do we have a resident narrowboat engine expert ? I am helping someone out trying to source a replacement set of glow plugs using the Locost approach rather than paying top dollar.

Does anyone recognise the engine type and know if it was used in anything else where we could locate new plugs ?

Vetus Diesel m4.14 - this is a Mitsubishi engine, probably over 20 years old.
CIN/HIN ST55SBAB90V43
There is likely Mitsubishi or Bosch (injection pump is Bosch)

cheers guys

Vetus also used a lot of Yanmar based engines......
