Hell knows why anyone has been using a reamer, its nothing like a tap lol. As Matt says, just change the things lol, don't know how this got so complicated.

Anyone have any ideas? Its got me kinda worried now haha. Someone said it could be a cracked cylinder head leaking up the glow plug hole :/
RE: Changing Glow Plugs? - DeeTurbo - 01-02-2015
If it was leaking up the glow plug it would be black. I wouldn't worry about it. Does it start and idle a bit better now when cold?
RE: Changing Glow Plugs? - JTaylor2005 - 01-02-2015
Seemed too a little. It has quite a habbit of being very diesel knocky this car. Whether its because its been a city car all its life and just got sooted up tonnes I have no idea haha
Definitly less smoke on start up
RE: Changing Glow Plugs? - DeeTurbo - 01-02-2015
Diesel knock you say that is a bit strange, could you do a video?
Just had another look at those plugs and I would say 2 and 4 had stopped working.
RE: Changing Glow Plugs? - JTaylor2005 - 02-02-2015
I have got a video just uploading it now

Here it is. Sorry if it looks funny. No idea what happened there
RE: Changing Glow Plugs? - Toms306 - 02-02-2015
Diesels all knock... That sounds perfectly fine to me.
That white soot is often on injectors as well, wouldn't worry about it tbh. Its just ash...like the stuff DPFs are full of.
RE: Changing Glow Plugs? - JTaylor2005 - 02-02-2015

nice pics....the threads are a long way back and the seal is a taper......element is not like a kettle ( exposed element like the old days, a spiral or similar ) but a solid bit.......thanks for the info.
