Just out of interest is it difficult to change the glow plugs on the 1.6 diesel engine?

I'm used to change sparkies on my petrol motor, but are they in an awkward position?

Not looked under the bonnet since buying it to be honest, so apologies for being naive.

Cheers

usually just unbolt the wire (8mm socket) and then unbolt the glow plug (still 8 mm socket)

I found some 'genuine' peugeot plugs on eBay for £47 earlier.

When it comes to parts such as these is it best to get OEM parts or can pattern parts be just as good?

I do however tend to buy genuine parts though.
