  • Glow Plug Royal Rip Off

    Hello peeps .. continuing the good fight against outrageous dealer rip offs .. this time it's the Kubota dealer.. Personally I rate my Kubota dealer very highly http://www.youngplant.co.uk/ they have served me well over the years .. but this price difference is too much to bear, I needed new glow plugs for one of my micro diggers .. a Kubota K008-3

    Young Plant have just been taken over by a Hyundai dealer and Im not sure if this has any bearing ? .. but whatever.. the Kubota price for a glow plug is £36.40 plus VAT and delivery I got 3 delivered in an hour from http://www.dingbro.co.uk/ for £12.15 each (they matched an online Ebay price .. all credit to them ).. the Kubota part cross matches to an NGK plug

        It's always good to get the price down a bit, it's good for us and it's good for the customers.

        I use use my local motor factors for bits and pieces like that, they are used to me now and very often let me have a rummage around on the shelves for bits like heater plugs
