Changed mine twice now, both timed without manifold removal, but I imagine it would be easier with it off & out of the way, the only trouble I had was that the electical connector on No 1 plug rotated under the nut & broke off! There isn't much spare wire to re-make the connector, so I had to strip back into the loom to release a bit more wire, a bit fiddly!

Its not a long job to remove the manifold and it makes the job sooo much easier, and another tip is do it with the engine warm its much kinder to the fingers this weather!

Yeah, manifold off is the way to go, mind you be careful putting it back on not to catch the wire for the no.4 injector like I did!

Make sure you use OE parts, dont get cheapies from the Bay, you will regret it.

Trying to change the glow plugs on a DSE without removing the manifold is like spending your honeymoon stood up in a canoe. Why make things difficult if you don't have to. Ten minutes to remove manifold and makes the job several times easier.
