This is just what I was looking for on the net! Pictorials help so much when your unsure how to tackle a job! Turns out my 3 top screws were missing and when i got the panel off I could see why, smashed plastics and so nowhere to screw into! Anyway im off now to whip the plugs out (hopefully) and get some newuns. Thanks for this artical and taking the photos, was anticipating id have to take the rad off so excellent news!

you will need magnet when removing small 8mm nuts x4 connecting each glow plug... quite fidderly ...also connecting each 1 back up...use magnet and screwdriver to start the thread up...hope this helps....mine was getting really hard to start on cold mornings. burnt my earth cable off starter motor, trying to start her up...
ps cooking oil doesnt help either ,,,lol its so cheap ,,,,lol

how did you get on with starting , T4 ANIMAL ., have you the same probs with starter motor,,, mines alot better but still needs cold start handle, and 2 on off clicks then starts fine ....bit smokey until warm
but put that down to the veggie oil,
