They charged us $340 for changing the glow plugs

Man, they ripped YOU off! You never have to change glow plugs unless they
become open circuit, but only the defective one. What a rip! 3 of the 4
glowplugs in the old '73 are still original!...(c;

I think your 73 must have been more gently used than ours have been.
Both of them were 2nd hand, and Bobs was a leased car with 235K miles
on it when he bought it.

One of the glow plugs was open when we started on the trip. They said
all of them were open. Bob didn't want to change the one that was
open before we started because it was so hard to get to.

One of the things that Bob didn't like about traveling by car vs
traveling by boat was that he didn't have tools with him.
