I changed my wife's Glowplugs today and I have to say it was nowhere near as complicated as the myriad of posts that I found on the net (and on this site) lead me to believe. The secret is to remove the complete EGR system and UNBOLT (note NOT remove) the fuel return manifold. In order to do the former I removed the entire air filter housing which necessitated taking off the from air intake scoop, removed the right hand side plenum housing (to provide more room for my big hands, and finally the EGR.
Once this was done, using the correct tool, which I bought off eBay, getting them out and back in was relatively easy. Two had gone high resistance whilst two were OK.
In my view if you are good with a set of spanners this is not a job to shy away from.
My job for tomorrow will be to decoke the entire EGR system and ancillary pipes, reassemble all the top end items and then change the cambelt which I last did 5 years ago ( although only 30K miles)
