Easier than changing rear suspension balljoints on an L322.(Specially when its rusty as f--k.)

Buy OEM (BERU) glowplugs, not cheap crap or you will end up doing the job twice.
Go easy removing the electrical connections on the glow plugs, if they haven't been removed removed for a while they could be siezed and if they are it makes the job harder. When I first did mine the ring connector snapped off the cable on No 1 and it was a bugger to get a new one on the short length of cable.
Remove the inlet manifold to gain best access.
I buy the cheap ones, Wellmans iirc, I need to replace them every 18-24 months I would say.

I took the inlet manifold off mine, its so easy to take off and makes it sooo much easyer to do the glow plugs.
