Frequently asked questions

What does the ERC8450 glow plug do?

The ERC8450 glow plug heats the combustion chamber for cold starting on Land Rover diesel engines. Threaded into the cylinder head, it warms the incoming air before cranking so the diesel charge ignites reliably from cold. Fitted to the 2.5L naturally aspirated and 2.5L turbo diesel engines.

What thread size is this glow plug?

This glow plug has an M12 x 1.25 thread, matching the cylinder head ports on the 2.5L diesel engines. Check your existing plug thread before ordering to confirm it's the same fitting.

How many glow plugs are needed?

Typically one glow plug per cylinder, so four on the 2.5L four-cylinder diesel. They're sold individually. Mechanics usually replace the full set together, since a plug that's failed means the others are the same age and near the end of their life.

What are the signs a glow plug needs replacing?

Hard or slow cold starting, excess white smoke on a cold morning and rough running until warm typically point to a failed glow plug on the 2.5L diesel. A glow plug warning light may also show. Testing each plug's resistance confirms which have failed.

Which models does this glow plug fit?

It fits the Land Rover Defender up to 2016 with the 2.5L NA or turbo diesel, and is listed for Series 2 and 3 with the late 2.25L diesel. Confirm your engine type, as petrol and later Td5 engines don't use this plug.
