Before you can start, open the bonnet of your Citroen C5. Begin by removing the exhaust manifold by unscrewing and removing the relevant fixing bolts, then unclip and remove the manifold itself. Next, disconnect the hoses connected to the glow plugs, then disconnect the positive electrical connector.

This will give you access to the glow plugs. Proceed to unscrew and remove the glow plugs, and the disassembly will be complete.

To fit the new glow plugs, simply follow these instructions in reverse, and the replacement will be completed.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
