Hi, can anyone tell me where the glow plugs are on my bongo. Not starting well in the morning. Do they all need replacing, or can just one burn/wear out ?
Cheers. Perry

Re: Glow plug location
Lift up the driver's seat and you'll see them, joined by a metal bar, mounted in the cylinder head. Access is not particularly easy due to the EGR gubbins - I found it easier after removing the engine cover.
Best to replace all four and get decent ones - NGK are the recommended make. There's a fact sheet in the member's area http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/member ... wplugs.pdf

Many thanks for your reply.
I'll ask the wife to get out of the seat first, then crack on !

Re: Glow plug location
Had to change mine last week. definitely easier if you remove the centre part of the engine cover (about 7-8 bolts- even under the gear lever). The fact sheet on the forum is excellent
