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

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

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 :/

ahh I see! Okay, I shall order some and give them a go as a first cheep option, then I could try the welder if I can find one I guess, if I haven't destroyed the tip in the mean time :/
Then I suppose my last option is the head off
lots of heat and those bits should hopefully do it though. Thank you for your help! I shall update you all in due course

I have the set from screwfix.
One thing I need to get it the handle for it. Last time I used a rather imaginative set of G Clamps and and spanners
