:lol: happy to help with the inane banter
Agree with you there it's not environmentally friendly at all to keep producing new cars full of rare metals, when older cars have been produced...
I decided I would write this as a basic “How To” thread, as well as documenting what I actually did. I hope someone who is less mechanically or technically adept, like myself, may find it useful and...
I tried the BIC razor method but it didn't work for me, so I bought a fuzz-away tool by JML - that didn't work either. In the end I used sandpaper. Yes, sandpaper. I'd read about it on a Porsche...

Get the glow plugs tested only takes 5 mins.
