It is important to read peer reviewed articles and not some biased “maroela media” nor “news24” article…

Glow plugs are a service part?

In 1.7million km of diesel engine motoring I have never replaced a glow plug...

Remove the glow plug (which is not a service part) from the list and the picture changes...

Were they not all Autos?
But yes, clutches can vary...

Nissan X-Trail 2.5 - R17 000 (OEM) - has one of those stupid dual mass flywheels

Wave I didn't really take note.

I just know that a dual mass clutch on the older 2.2 Rangers are DAMN expensive!

We did a conversion on our BT50 as there was no way I was going to pay 33k (First quote) for the factory clutch.

I took a quick look and the majority of the bakkeis seem to A/T with only 2 with no mention of 'box' in the chart
