Hello all!

Thought I would pop a new set of decent glow plugs in me 200Tdi Disco today as there aint any snow just lovely frost!

Followed Busters thread looked easy enough for me to do so disconected the first hose went to remove the cyclone breather and the nut won't budge at all. Spent the day so far soaking it in oil and hitting it with a hammer as someone on hear once said Tap,Tap,Tap,Tap,Tap,Tap,Tapx 600 then lost count! Still nothing. Head is now starting to round off. Oh happy times!

Havent tried any heat yet as no blowtorch at mo and thought I would check it would damage the cyclone as it looks plastic to me!

Any good ideas folks?

Thanks again.

Hi Sky, have you got any 6-sided sockets, one of them should get it off easily enough.
