Right, if we forget about the first photo which has just confused matters. This is a new glow plug on the right. The 2 bits on the left are the inner and outer which I have removed. However the tip of the old plug is missing, I have put a screwdriver in the hole and I can confirm that the tip...

Eggzackerly mate. Now that I like the sound of. The picture is a New plug on the right, and the 2 bits on the left are what I have removed from the head, the problem being the 2 old bits don't equal a new plug, the tip/end is missing.

Sorry fella, I think I've confused matters a bit, I've got the inner and outer out nice ad simply, but the end of the inner (Core is it?) Is still in the head. Does that make more sense?? It's the core I can't get out mate, the inner and outer came out nice and easily.

New plug on the right, the two bits of the old plug on the left, so I'm obviously missing a good bit of the old plug.

It won't screw back in, the end of the plug is still in the head. Ye, wiring all disconnected and with a deep socket, I just stuck the wire back on it while I sussed out a course of action.

So that's what I'm dealing with, is it alright to start so that I can take it somewhere to try and get it sorted, or is that liable to do some damage??

I'll sort some pictures in the morning, but it's the end of the glowplug that has come off, so there is nothing to see:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Sooooooo tried to change my glow plugs today, first one has come in bits and left the end section in the head:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:. I've had a search and from what i've read, it seems it'll be alright to just leave it as it can't fall in and cause any damage, is this the case?? I...

It was 'Allmakes' but I tend to treat the back section of exhaust as a consumeable due to it always being covered in mud and water. If I get 2 years out of one I'm happy with that at <£30 and a half hour job, I've got a stainless straight through middle section which is spotless 2 years down the...

New Exhaust............ £27. The feeling you get when the Landy passes her MOT test first time............... PRICELESS. :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:. One VERY happy camper here, going to have a beer to celebrate tonight, and maybe have a look at buying the old girl something shiny.:D:D:D:D

I fitted poly-bushes all round 3 years ago and I've never had any bother, can't remember what they were, but they're orange and ''Flo-flex" does ring a bell:confused::confused:. Getting the OEM ones out was simple enough, I lit the Chimnea in the garden, stuck the various bits in, by the time...

Blurry eck, I'll bet it took you ages to think of that user name:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Get that shiny socket set of yours mucky:p:p:p:p

I was thinking Stable matting as I was reading that, so I'll second that suggestion;)

Cheers fella, just had quite a lot on, and between work and little people it's been murder trying to find the time. Definitely going to try and look in more often.

That's brilliant, cheers fella.:cool::cool:

Does the sump plug need a new copper washer like on earlier engines???

From what I can gather it's just the engine oil and filter he wants to do this weekend, just want to make sure I don't need any bizarre tool to remove the filter or anything else equally stupid.
