You also sertainly will not get good results mixing fast and slow plugs.
Interesting pic there. In my China/Prothe vs Bosch Duraterm comparison, I noticed the Chinas heated faster to glowing at the tip, while the Bosch ran a lower temp but heated 2/3 of the plug instead of just the tip.
Beru are supposed to be top notch too.
I'm guessing that is not your experiment?

I didn`t take that pic myself, it was attached to illustrate those plugs in action. There was this td Volvo friend of us having issues with his newly installed Berus (2-3 of them burned out, short term, twice---?what`s wrong?) so we decided to use Bosch plugs for our 760s. (BTW, the Diesel shop advised against the Berus for some reason although they were more exp than Bosch...!?) Yeah, but Beru supposed to be perfect so I can blame him for punching his dashboard manual toggle-glow way too much when his pump lost prime at night. We got Bosch plugs and they worked perfectly. I don`t know part #s, it was centuries ago.
I will ask G about the plugs and order a set if I get the correct part #s.
