mate sounds like you need to check your voltages on the rail,, make sure you are getting the right glowplugs to suit the patrol. you mostly burn them out when you get the wrong votage.. i would go genuine...
make sure you clean the rail so there is a good contact... let me know if there is anymore trouble and will look up secifications 4 you.. email me for anymore questions
