Fitment questions
Do Nissan Cabstar glow plugs exist on all variants, or only certain engines?
Glow plugs are a diesel-engine component, and the Nissan Cabstar has been sold exclusively with diesel engines throughout its UK production life, so yes, every UK Cabstar variant will have glow plugs fitted. The exact plug specification depends on the engine code rather than anything else, so the engine code from your V5 or a VIN check is the single most useful detail you can give a breaker when sourcing a used set.
Will glow plugs from an older F22 generation Cabstar fit a newer F24 generation Cabstar?
The Nissan Cabstar ran in the F22 generation broadly through the late 1990s and into the mid-2000s, before the F24 generation followed from around 2006 onwards, and these generations used different engine families. Glow plugs follow the engine code rather than the generation badge, so plugs from an F22-era engine will not necessarily cross to an F24-era engine even if both are diesel; confirm compatibility against your specific engine code with the breaker before buying.
Does it matter whether my Cabstar is a tipper, dropside or box body when sourcing glow plugs?
No — body style and conversion type have no bearing on glow plug fitment whatsoever, as glow plugs are an internal engine component. What matters is the engine code, which will be the same regardless of whether the truck was bodied as a tipper, dropside, or luton box; give the breaker your engine code and registration and they can cross-reference the correct plug.
My Cabstar is a 2010 model — will glow plugs from a 2006 or 2007 Cabstar fit?
The F24 generation Cabstar ran from around 2006, so a 2006, 2007, and 2010 example are all within the same broad generation. That said, glow plug fitment ultimately comes down to the engine code, and there can be running changes within a generation, so match by engine code rather than year alone and confirm with the breaker against your registration to be safe.
Does the trim level or payload rating of my Cabstar affect which glow plugs I need?
Trim level and payload rating do not affect glow plug fitment — these are mechanical engine parts that follow the engine code. Two Cabstars with different payload ratings but the same engine code will take the same glow plugs; the breaker only needs your engine code and registration, not your trim or payload specification.
How many glow plugs does a Nissan Cabstar have, and does that affect sourcing a used set?
The number of glow plugs matches the number of cylinders in the engine — most Cabstar diesel engines are four-cylinder units, meaning four plugs, though you should verify this against your engine code as variants differ. When buying used from a breaker, it is worth sourcing a full matched set from the same donor vehicle where possible, and confirming the plug type and quantity with the breaker against your engine code before purchase.
