I just want to cry.....
Diesels use compression ignition dear boy
So what are the plugs for on a diesel? I have never had a diesel btw....

Close but not correct. Glow plugs do operate only on cold conditions below -5 , but they are used for regeneration to increase combustion temperatures to help burn the soot away in the fap.
On diesels without fap, they are hardly used

I have to admit I envy you car knowledge and experience. Wish I had worked as a mechanic. Too late now though....
