Well it certainly seems as if this topic, I started, has demonstrated that there is a significant design problem, or simply poor quality, in the glowplugs fitted to the Subaru diesel! Surely Subaru should, for their own market image come clean and admit the problem and agree to help out with owners' costs to fix the problem.
This is my 5th Subaru and whilst I like the brand the costs of repair are making me look to other makes for my next car.
