Regarding glow plugs , yes you have the idea . They are not likely to fail shorted . more likely open circuit . but see what the resistance is ...
I just want to check before I start that I am looking at the glow plugs at the top there in the attached photo?

When looking at videos online the glow plugs wernt situated conveniently on the top like that, they were in awkward to reach places behind pipes, more towards the front. But as Ive got what looks like my AC cylinder there Im guessing myy plugs are on top?

Thanks

If you're talking about the 4 things with metal pipes connected, they're the injectors.

I would imagine that the glow plugs are on the rear of that engine and they will have similar relative spacing to the injectors.

Non Volvo engine so don't expect easy glow plug access.

Ford. Also referred to as HDi when fitted in PSA models, something else in the BMW Mini and various others :

Pretty sure that the 1.6 and 2.0 (4 Cylinder) are Ford/PSA

I've worked on them in a Peugeot 207 badged HDi and Fiesta badged TDCi just never done the glow plugs.

They're made under licence by PSA for their Pug/Cit models and BMW mini, also in Sweden (2.0 only i believe) prsumably for Volvo

Zero! Looking above those two plugs there appears to be an inlet tract for each pot, i would assume (as the photo isn't wide enough to see the other two pots that the same applies and you'll find the other two grow prugs in a similar place further along.

I've seen worse but not often and can't remember on what...............

Should I disconnected the battery as well before testing these, or is there no need?
