The Mitsubishi Pajero Owners Club®

I clicked on 'Club Shop' at the top of my page, because I want to order some glow plugs for my Paj, but I can't see any parts for sale at all.
I am using Internet Explorer version 11, with Windows 7
There are three options on the Click2Add page; Handbooks, Yellow Diamonds and Pajero essentials ( but no Parts ) ?
Am I doing something wrong? Is it me?
Not used the Club Shop before, and I thought that I should support the Club by purchasing through the shop, but it's completely blank.
Tried Firefox in case it was an Internet Explorer issue, but there's still nothing to click on ?
Don't understand, sorry.

I am using Chrome and I can see YDs and handbooks for sale - but no parts.

Thanks for your comment Pete in Chad, and at least it's not just me then.
How do I contact a Site Admin directly please?
Just been trying to find a dealer that sells a tool to remove the glow plugs, i.e. a 12mm deep socket with rubber insert, but PG Automotive, Twiggs and Milners all say no.

There is one HERE

What model have you got? On my 4M40 I just used a ring spanner.

Yes, peteinchad, that socket would do the job, except I don't yet have a socket set with 1/2" drive. Looks like the one on eBay has a hole in the side for a metal bar.
My Pajero is SWB 2.8TD 1994 Import ( 2002 ) 4M40 / V26 type model, Auto trans.
I want to know why members are saying they picked up good quality glow plugs at a reasonable price from the Club Shop, when I can't even see any products for sale ?

Mine's the same engine as yours - I got a set from Euro Car Parts which seem to be lasting OK.

The Beru ones they sell are good value - HERE - just double check they are for your model.

If you have a 3/8 socket set then just buy an adapter like THIS

I don't think it is necessary to have the rubber insert in the socket - unlike a spark plug, glow plugs have the hexagon near the top of the plug.

Thanks Pete, I shall go for the Beru ones on EuroCarParts, and a ring spanner will do fine as per your experience.
Just need the rain to stop for a suitable day ( no garage )
Cheers !

We stopped selling parts ...

I used to sell them at 'almost cost' then people (generally with modified glow-systems) knackered them within 12 months and demanded a full refund.

I lost a lot of money selling perfectly good quality plugs that failed through no fault of the plug.

In the end, it just wasn't worth it Sad

Thank you Simon (administrator) and I understand the reason for the club not wanting to offer parts at discount, especially if that's what happens.
It was only because several members said that they had ordered glow plugs through the club shop that I had a look. Naturally, I assumed that I must have a computer problem when I couldn't see 'Parts' - All O.K. now, my Paj is starting well on the Beru plugs from EuroCarParts.
