Right folks, I am getting a recurrent engine fault code of p1384 every time I start the engine from cold. I have googled this and found it to relate to the glow plug circuit malfunction. I have spoken to local honda dealer who was surprisingly helpful and didn't just give the "you need to bring it in for a diagnostic..." line that most give. They advised that the fault could lie with either the glow plugs themselves (one or more) or wirth the glow plug relay. I have ordered the relay since it is the cheaper part at first but my question is this.....
Has anyone changed their own glow plugs as I have read a few horror stories for other car types of glow plug heads snapping off and ending up with cylinder heads having to be removed to remove glow plugs. Am i better off just sending the car to Honda for them to change the plugs if the relay doesn't sort the code or would you guys try a diy?
All opinions welcome.
