1989 740 D24T was suffering cold start problems. My local volvo mechanic has changed plugs 1-4, but says that 5/6 require a lot of dismantling to get to and replace.

Starting is better but idle is rough for a few minutes, so I guess they need doing pdq.

A previous posting implied that this can be done with nimble fingers, so can anyone give me some pointers as to how I should go about it.

I'm still smarting from the cost of a Cambelt replace and the 4xGlowplugs and losing the car for a week, so I'd rather do it myself if at all possible. Trouble is, Diesels are a total mystery to me and I need some guidance.

Any good sources for 'Haynes equivalent' for Diesel engine maintenance?
