Hi all,

I have a broken glow plug in cylinder 1 according to Dis so I have bought four to replace all of them if I am going in there, it has covered 97k

Haynes says renew the gaskets when replacing the manifold. I'm a bit of a miser and don't fancy spending £50 to renew all the gaskets involved. Have others experienced or heard of leaks occurring after just putting back with originals? I'm a bit apprehensive to do the job to start with for the sake of one glow plug.

Thanks for any replies.
Mark
