As there were no replys to this question i thought i had better have a propper look and get on with it myself. I suppose i was a bit nervous due to the fact that Diesel is very new to me and its the unknown. I bought the five glow plugs,a 10mm long socket,3/8 universal joint and a pair of extra long nose pliers to get the plug contacts off. Everything was more or less accessible and the whole process went amazingly well. It took all of 35 min from start to finish. So thats a good job done ready for the next wave of cold weather and snow.
