I thought he had snapped his at the thread end, not the tip end. But then I may be wrong.......

Which is wher you would expect the buggerz to snap...

You consider the standard way of getting them out daft. But give it a go.
Been running 5 mins now and the bloody bit is still happily stuck in there.

If it wont come out, how important is it for starting, mine starts fine without glow plugs, I guess your winter temps are pretty cool though, but if the other 3 are working ok the engine should fire up just a bit lumpy. Just put the old bits back in to hold it all together, would be better than reefing the head off just for something so simple.Been running 5 mins now and the bloody bit is still happily stuck in there.
Grimms me old mukker,
Shirley you know someone near you with a set of extractors?
They do take a bit of getting out, but an extractor and a long handle has never let me down in over 50 years!
I've got a couple of plugs sheared off level or just below the head (on me itsafishy) - any suggestions or links for getting the sods out without having the head off would be gratefully received
The top hasn't come off completely it's still attached by the internal wire - I'm afraid to break them off in case the bottom drops off into the pot - is that likely?
Meanwhile, no loss of compression.
See post #49 if that doesn't work and it will more often than not it is head off.
Just been in garage to break a glow plug F**k do they take some breaking So how they break in the head God knows

So the 1s in your motor D/n still have thread in the head ?
