Well I got the glow plugs warning this morning so need to check them.

Can someone link me to Argonought's glow plug test, I can't find it for some reason.

No probs at all mate

Car runs fine but best check it out, early Saturday morning.

good luck mate, changing them is one of the most hateful jobs you can do on the jtd.....

Well I've eventually got around to using Argonought's guide to sort the glow plug warning.

Tested all 4 a few times to make sure and cylinder 4 glow plug is dead.

Got a 2.6 ohm reading on all but the pin 1(Yellow).

So just ordered a new Bosch glow plug(£14 delivered).

Also ordered a new Draper multimeter(£15 delivered) because after testing I some how managed to reverse our multiwagon over my multimeter.

Edit.
Argonought Thanks, great guide ..

ouch, i payed £30 delivered for all four duraterms a few months back. I had one go then shortly after another follow so i replaced all four - for a bit of piece of mind especially during those cold winter mornings....

I did consider replacing all 4 plugs but due to the risk of one breaking off and getting stuck in the block I decided to reduce that risk by only replacing the one that was faulty.

If another fails in the next few weeks I will replace them all next time.

yeah i know where your coming from, i had the same worry, i just tightened them very slightly then they came out easily.
do you have the correct plug tool with wobbly end?, i got a draper set from amazon and they worked a treat. i dont think the job would be possible without the correct tool - well you would run a much higher risk of damage if you didnt use them.

Have replaced glow plug before on a project Stilo JTD I purchased, used a foot long extension bar and a socket and I managed ok(post 77 of the thread linked below)

Just hope things go as smoothly this time ...

5. Now use this simple table to work out which cylinder has a faulty glow-plug

• Pin 1 (YELLOW) = Cylinder 4
• Pin 2 (BLACK) = Cylinder 3
• Pin 3 (GREEN} = Cylinder 2
• Pin 4 (RED) = Cylinder 1

Note: cylinder 1 is always furthest from the flywheel or if you prefer is next to the cam belt cover

I changed the wrong glow plug because Red(pin 4 - cylinder 1) was next to the flywheel on my car.

Is anyone else's like mine?

Yes. Think its a 2005 model year thing. Not like that in a 2002 - 2004.

Not sure with 2006- 2007 as it became a Mjet 1.9 engine.
