Hi,

Not had a chance to get out at it, rain is thundering down. Going to get new pluigs for it on monday. Also noticed that the fuel cap lock tab's broke, so more things to fix

Cheers,

Measure they are faulty before changing willy-nilly

£30 or so is worth it to get them changed, car is on 74,000 miles and there was no service history, everything i've changed so far has been original, even the oil!

It adds a further complication to the diagnoses randomly changing parts.  Seeing as it takes about 2 mins to check all 6 are OK (bit longer pinpointing which one is faulty if one is), its worth doing first.

How difficult is it changing glow plugs on the 2.2 DTi?

I'm having starting problems too. I do not think it is likely to be the glow plugs but I'd probably want to replace them anyway as my car has just reached 100k.
