Need help with Service manual CDs---where are the glow plugs?
I posted a thread earlier because Lola won't start and I was advised to check the glow plugs. Seems simple enuf, but not if you've never seen the part.
I have the service manuals on CD. But, there is no index (or I couldn't find one). There is a scetion of the maintenance manual on replacing spark plugs (for a gasser, why is this even in the CD?). Under the engine electrical section, there is a "Checking the preglow system", but it deals with relays and warning lights. What I need is a picture of the location of the plugs, so I don't pull out the wrong part. Can someone tell me if they are able to search the CDs? Or direct me to the right section/page for "How to replace the glow plugs"? yes, i'm pitiful, but willing to learn.

I also have an 84 300D (Federal).
The Glow Plugs are on the Drivers Side of the Cylinder head. 1 per Cylinder, look to see what looks like 12mm Bolt heads with electrical connections held on by way of little easy to loose 9mm nuts. If you remove any Glow Plugs Ream or otherwise clean out the Carbon From the Glow Plug holes (several Threads on this) and use a Never-Seez type compound on the Glow Plug Threads. The Diesel Giant site has a pictorial on how to check the Glow Plugs at the Glow Plug Relay using the Connector. If you do not see the pics scroll down the page and you will see them. If you need an inexpensive digital MultiMeter (Volt/Ohm Meter); Harbor Fregith has them from $3-$9 each.

Index only. You unpack it, copy your CD's into the 'CD1' and 'CD2' folders.
