Seen quite a few threads about glowplugs and their treatment as consumable items recently. Suspect this may become even more of an issue with the introduction of EU4 compliant engines, some of which run their plugs on for some time after cold startup at high temperature. (Up to 15 minutes @ 1150C per the Bosch website.)

Strikes me those plugs are going to have a hard life, however long that may be.
