Booked our Bongo in for service and Mot, It's done 92000km Do you think it is wise to replace the glow plugs . As I dont know if they where done @ 50000km. It does feel a bit ropey on start up.

If its missing on one or two cylinders for a few seconds when you first start up then it probably needs a new set of glow plugs. Did mine recently after similar symptoms and it now starts immediately and runs smooth from the off.
