Hi all, I've managed to change the glow plugs today. Many thanks to fredastaire for his post. Whilst performing this task I came across a possible future problem, which I shall share here. Once I had removed the air filter box I noticed the cables running from/to the fuse box were chaffing. (See photos) Fortunately the insulation was still intact, just, so I wrapped insulation tape around the area and then split and positioned some old hose over the cables to prevent further damage. Thought it was worth a post .

Good spot, checked mine had a bit of chaffing too.

Glad to help. I seem to have had a photo malfunction I thought I had uploaded two pics, a before and after but lost the before somehow !! The chaffing on my cable had gotten worse than yours so glad I spotted it,wet damp mornings on the way n all that.  Back in the fold after 8 yrs.
