Freelander 1 Glow plug disintegration

Previous owner broke the glow plug. Now it's disintegrated, car broke down and the car is being recovered back home.

No thread left as it has been butchered. Anyone know a person who can drill and helicore an new one in the head nr Ashford in kent ?

Thanks

I would have thought the head will need to come off, so would it not just be easier and cheaper to get a replacement head?

That's the route I'd take. A working TD4 engine can be had for a couple of hundred quid. It's not worth spending hundreds, trying to repair a damaged head, when a good replacement can be had for so little.

Well I thought you might say that !

If I change the head how easy is it. Do I need to re-time it or is it a case of setting to tdc and replace?

I know a man that can do the job in place but he lives in Carlisle look up extract engineering he can come to you but charges £75 to remove it and £35 per hour travel

Can my one recommend a workshop manual?

I just need the procedure to replace the head on the freelander with the torx settings.

Thanks

Have you tried Rave? That's the original LR workshop manual. You can download a copy here....

You need to open that file with something like "Virtual CloneDrive" (that's what I use) - the contents then become a drive letter on your PC (like a CD) and you can run the 'rave.exe' program which is a front end to a series of PDFs.

Only works on Windows - not on Mac/Linux (unless you can run in some Windows compatibility mode).
