My car is now running good!

Cant beleive the problems started by a glow plug!

As you all know my head has had some work done to it due to the snapping of plugs.

I had a full head change and starter and turbo.

Starter _ Because it burnt out due to non starting

Turbo _ Because i thought the old one had blown but it never

Head _ Wel the old one was F U B A R because i had a pice of old glow plug stuck in there and it bent valves and snapped a part under the cam?
thus running V v bad.

New parts fitted £600 pluss spent and it started and run sound.
Done 3.6 mile and it stopped dead on the drive.

Charged the battery 2 times due to non starting.
Thought thats it had enough its going on Flea Bay

On as a non starter but i had got a second opinion from another fitter.
Glad i did because when inspecting the engine i pulled the leak off pipes out my way to see why i had oil under them. It fell off with ease, went on to check the rest and there where 4 compleatly split 100% the way through. £1.00 on parts £20 on fitting and that was it pumped the fuel back in and it stated no problem and starts every time now.

Phew nearly sold the lot!

SWEET,

How did the plugs snap off?

I think one was already half gone as when i put the socket on it snapped to easy. And the other one was probbly the same as the first one and the last owner just left it for me! Think they where Lock Tight in
