| Seized glow plugs and FBH work around |
|
Hi guys .
Ok ive an issue in that the heater plugs are down and yesterday it was a devil to start .
Upon looking today there's no way those plugs are going to come out. Without them snapping well known I know .
So the work around is to use fbh to warm up the engine and in effect do away with the plugs .
Does anyone make the remotes etc or what ever I need to fire the fbh up prior to starting the engine when its cold ...
I know there's a thread on the fbh but electronics isn't my strong point and I csnt really understand as the thread got deeper .
Regards Baz

not only does the pre heeat make her easier to start , you all get instant hot air in the car too.
best mod ive done so far.
i fitted the kit that uses the LR button on the remote and honestly it was simplicity itself to do, great video instructions and my FBH runs without any smoke on startup and car starts after a few turns every time.
Although it hasnt really go that cold yet , bring on the -10

I got all 6 of mine out this time last year without breaking them by using this air tool:

If you've got access to air supply you have nothing to lose trying this first

Ok so this box fitted works off the bottom button on the LR key ?
And does it switch other things on at the same time to circulate the water and air in the cabin .

people have been fitting these for £70 ish.
Price has gone thru the roof to £260. I guess he doesn't want to sell any until next month, which is a few days away
