How do I change the glow plugs in LDV maxus?

How do I change the glow plugs in LDV maxus

Through the front is in the long run so much easier,also warm the vehicle up a little first just until the temp gauge moves.Rad out out remove power steering clamp and slam panel.Top tip before you attempt the removal spray the glow plug caps and plug seats in a releasing agent not wd40.Two hours job done.

Have just changed glow plugs in a 58 plate maxus.
I found the best way is to remove the front grill,bonnet slam panel,radiator etc and work through the hole in the front. By doing this,you have plenty of room to work and don't need 4 hands the size of a childs. It also saves the expence of snapping one off as you can apply wd40 or similar to free them off whilst you have a cuppa.
doing it this way also gives you the chance to change the anti freeze as you usually only notice glow plugs dont work when it gets cold.
Hope this helps someone.

it took me ages to find them, they are on the front of the engine, easiest to reach fron underneath.
you will need 10mm socket or ring spanner
