I've done it on mine and I'm a girlie - so if I can do it then anyone can  Wink (and no TT didn't help!)

Except I put cheap glow plugs in and may have to change them again. Doh!  Roll Eyes

took me about 20mins the first time.

You need to disconnect the battery - then the glow plug rail than loosen off the rail from the plugs.

Then one at a time gently unscrew the plugs - a deep socket set is handy for this.   Trick as mentioned is not to snap or breal the plugs when pulling them out - also be careful not to smack the carbon tips as they come out of the whole.

Revers procedure for fitting new ones and off you go...

its worth giving the raila  good clean while you're at it too.
