TD4 Glowplugs

Hi
We have been servicing our 2002 Freelander today and wanted to change the glowplugs, 3 came out great and replaced...the last one doesn't want to play and is spinning inside the chamber...car still starts ok..g/plug light on and off on dash..are we ok to leave that one in there...or is there a safe way to remove without removing the head??? Many thanks for any advice
Anne

If it starts OK tomorrow morning (mine only lights the light first thing in the morning) I would personally leave it in. If it goes pop it will start on 3 good ones but it will run rough and smoke like Winston Churchill for for a few seconds.

If you want to remove it there are various methods on YouTube.

Hi again Bandit..this is what we were thinking, if it's not going to cause any damage by being there...leave alone

you could be loosing a little compression

I sheared one on my mate freelander, its been ok for a couple of months.
leave it be, it should be ok.

Me too. I sheared one of ours but haven't lost compression. You can get them extracted if you really want. There are apparently specialists who do this.

Hi Peeps...all started lovely this morning, had a bit of smoke...but everything has been cleaned up to within an inch of its life, gave the choked up inlet manifold a good clean and running alot better...going to see how it goes over next few weeks...if i start to worry have a friend with a friend who removes them for a living at reasonable cost, so will take it to him

Good progress. Well done.
