The 98 300tdi auto Disco has decided to be difficult to start on these now chilly mornings. Put a new set of glow plugs at the weekend, made no difference at all. Read many, many threads about potential cause and fixes for this prob. Brain overload. Put a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank, gotta start somewhere I suppose..

Drove the 200tdi Disco to work, on thw way home admired the excellence of a fully function & illuminated instrument cluster. #tips_hat_to landowner

Found the cause of the bouncey ride since the left rear spring dislocated. Best order a new one. And plumbed in the boost gauge, 11 psi.

Replaced my glow plugs, first three went fine, last one snapped on me :( Ive bypassed it for now, anyone know of a good way to get them out without taking the dam head off?

Also, nipping down to the garage later so a friend can slap some gasket sealant on my nearside rear hub as its leaking after a wheel bearing change :)

If its a steel piece at the top you could build up a series of welds until you have enough to get a good sized extractor on there or keep welding a stalk, put a nut round it then weld the stalk to the nut and use a 6pt socket

As for the welding option, I have heard of this before, but I don't have a welder available to me so would be difficult :/
