Glow plug removal success.
After squirting WD40 on the glow plugs nearly every day over the past week, today was the day to see if it had worked. I ran the engine so the temperature gauge was midway, and donned the gloves to tackle the glow plugs using a long 10mm socket and t-bar. Pleased to say that all four came out a treat!
No 4 came out the easiest. The other 3 needed more persuasion that I felt comfortable with, but they each slowly cracked, and I kept winding them back and forth initially to get to a point when they’d unscrew with ease.
Next job, a compression test, and also to replace the plugs with new ones. 3 were dead anyway, (and they weren’t the same 3 that were tough to remove).

I used to live a couple of miles outside the M25, but worked inside it.
I now live and work 230 miles west of the M25, and don't miss it one bit.

A less happy day for my FL today. Two tell tale noises. A knocking/clicking on full lock, particularly in reverse suggests I've not caught my split CV boot in time, and a bit of a crunching sound that is telling me my drivers door window cable is ready to let go. Ho hum.

Oh no… and mine has a similar noise now. D’oh!

Are you sure you hadn't got the click and crunch CD in at the time?!? I play it all the time, masks a symphony of noises.

Clicking is normally a worn CV joint, not just the boot.
Window cables on my SE were a constant irritation. I did all 5 at least once while I had it, I actually did both front doors twice.
I can help with both issues, if you fancy a trip over?
I've also got the temperature display mirror here, waiting for you, and 4 bumper corners in the colour of yours, which are too good to tip.

Nothing, absolutely nothing. I am actually a bit worried now, because I have fixed all the known issues in my FL1 that I bought last December (drum brakes, wishbones, tie rod ends, clutch, VCU & bearings, diff mount, fuel tank cradle). It has no issues. Maybe I just drive it?

Could do, or give us the mileage and we'll predict your future failures. Don't want too much enjoyment and boredom do you!?!
