Glow Plug change - Rob the Buff - 24-04-2012
Please can someone advise me on how difficult it is to change the glow plugs on my 54 berlingo. I know very little about cars, but i have been shown where they are located. Do i need a special tool to get them out and do i have to take off all the plastic housing above them
cratch: Cheers Guys!!

you need to remove the inlet manifold it black then you require a socket to remove wire from glow plug and the a socket to remove plugs

I undone 2 visible screws on the inlet thing, but could not get it to move. I was afraid i would break something!! Does it need to be a deep socket,as i only have what i would describe as a normal socket set.

yep would say deep but only small sockets should be a easy job have you checked glowplug relay located by passengers side headlight black box

No i have not checked the relay , dont know what it looks like, or even what to do if i found it

To be honest given what appears to be very limited mechanical knowledge I'd stay well away from the engine !
