I'll be starting on one here in a little while

I have a 99 E300 with 265xxx miles on it in the shop that I'll be going through the glow plugs this morning. They were replaced approximately 2 years ago and at that time the independent shop break one off. All he did was hook another one up and lay it on the intake manifold. It makes it easy to see if the glow plug relay works or not because you can see it glowing.

Last time I did one the worst ones to come out took about 1 hour each to get out. I used a lot of Kroil too.

This car has been running on 100% biod for the past couple years so it will be interesting to see what the build up looks like. I'll post pics if I see anything interesting. I'm getting paid for the job with 100% biodiesel.

i will swing by my indie shop and ask him about this, he loves these cars and this is the model he wanted me to buy when i ask him which 95-2000 year diesels to look at , thinks the motors are great etc
That is great to know.

As already stated, get the car and drive the heck out of it.
