Changed the glow plugs on one of the wheesels, had a bum twitching moment when the rear plug went very tight but it came out ok :)

Think I'm gonna leave this job for as long as possible on mine!  :-\

Fitted a new battery as mine died overnight. It gave me a couple of days of suspiciously slow turning over and then wham, dead as a door nail.  ::) Got four and a half years out of it so mustn't grumble.  :)
