Ok folks, think I already know the answer to this but will bow to your wisdom
I am replacing all six glow plugs with a new set of Berus, now is it possible to replace them without removing the inlet manifold and if I do remove it whats best to reseal manifold to head many thanks

Easier to remove manifold, use new gaskets when you refit it

+1. Doesn't take long and check the leak-off pipe while you're in there.

And dont trap wire from number 4 injector when you replace it.

Or move the wire too much as I found out, it could be corroded and break if moved.

Or forget to reattach bracket at bulkhead end without trapping it

If it's a plastic manifold there are no gaskets, just O rings and they don't need to be replaced.
