The thing to remember is don't force them. Andy's technique and use of no more than 25Nm is spot on. I had 1 of 3 on my FL1 SE that absolutely refused to turn, so I didn't risk breaking it off.

And I used a torque wrench, set to the correct torque. ;)

I would expect nothing less! It's my old F1, that is now with my daughter, that I'm more concerned about. Strange how it still finds it's way back here when it has a problem :rolleyes:😂

If you need to replace the FL2 glow plugs, they are only tightened to 8Nm, so come out easily. FL1 plugs are often tightened like they are spark plugs, which is completely unnecessary.

How to do the bonnet latch part is is well described in various threads. To actually unlock the doors you needs to access the diagnostic lines & have decent diagnostics. @mowoh as I said in reply to your PM, I would need to see picture of you...

The advantage of having a single burner and a kettle with supplies for a cuppa☕. Never leave home without them on a long trip. J

Also, the rear diff mounts

check the propshaft union bearings, or universal joints on the propshaft that is if you still have them attached

Think he/she/ it's flounced

This one??------

Just her lovely warm soft hands 😎

Well, obviously I asked for the lovely nurse to have a look. Soon cleared up the problem 😜

With the help of the cream

Did you see a doctor?

Watch the rear diff... just saying

Well you know who had my current one...!

Good to know - I hadn't thought of doing it that way!

Had to remove 4 x glowplugs from my TD4 2005 recently. None moved and I know, from a bench test of a broken one, that they snap at 30 ftlb. I didn't want to break them so trawled for techniques that might work. This one looked reasonable and it...

Looks like you had a fun day out 👍

Short video above, no annoying music this time you will be pleased to know. Filmed on my old handheld digital camera so quality is as good as usual.
