Don't hold me to this but surely the glowies would be the same as the ones in a DT?

All they do is heat up and it's the same block (I think) as in a DT. Although glowies go in the head. Now I'm rambling Confused

I'm being asked if it an XUD engine or if its a DW8 engine phoned 3 places and they have all asked the same because the XUD is 12mm and the DW8 is 10mm or something along those lines
