How many broken glow plugs?

So Grange LandRover in Royal Wooten Bassett have my D3 in for failed glow plugs. In attempting to remove said items, how many do you think they have snapped in the cylinder head?

Well done Mikey! They all came out yes with no breakages. Not without some serious work on the part of the technicians at Grange. They bought in a tool to help remove them and that along with a bit of heat and penetrating fluid got them out in one piece. Thumbs Up
