Despite only ordering the Glowplugs yesterday, they arrived this morning!
No time like the present, so I set about installing the hugely valuable (£11.99) new ones..
First up was a liberal skooshing of proprietary lubrication fluid.
Then out for a drive to my Unit - with another squirt when I arrived.
A bit of faffing later and it was back to my Gaff, and time to tackle them (after lunch and another skoosh, of course!)
The super jointy faffery sockets as supplied by my neighbour made short work of 3 out of the 4 plugs - number 2 is directly behind the fuel pump and looked a sod to get at, so discretion was applied
Number 1 is a straight shot, no problemo
Number 3 needs the small breather pipe moving to get in - you can see the nipple it connects to directly above the ratchet
Number 4 lives next to the fuel filter - pulling the top off made it easier to reinstall - removing the oil cap/dipstick creates space to turn the ratchet/bar
Suffice to say, the new ones looked significantly shinier than the old, and I think the 3 new have reduced the cold start drama!
