George106 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Hi guys, yesterday I was in the garage and wanted to have glow plus changed as they don't work anymore. Unfortunately they managed to get only three of them out and the last one sheared off in the head. Now I am waiting for some chap who is dealing with this kind of problem (removal of plugs, injectors in situ) however he is busy atm and may be able to come some time next week. I am just thinking if you know anyone near Southampton who could help? I am not used to leave car in the garage and not really happy to be without car for next 3 days or so. George Quote
zorgman Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 right then get some vinegar and put that round the glow plug itll help to move it im thinking here as i ran a montego years ago with a snapped off glow plug and it never caused any probs the motor will start on 3 plugs, av a check see if its leaking by starting engine and using a some oil or something see if it leaks if not your fine Quote
George106 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Posted January 14, 2011 My gal is back on the road :) and I have not paid fortune for all the work done. At the end I paid 160quid (labour only) for inner driveshaft change, glowplug change + removal of broken plug (has been done in situ with loads of swearing as I have been told) as well. Glad to be driving again and have to say, new driveshaft eliminated sloppiness of drive and even gear change is better (feels like more precise). Thanks everyone for support and enjoy eveningGeorge Quote
