Nothing as yet mudnut. Have put off the job of crawling under the bus because of a) it's been freezing cold & b) I took a chunk out of my thumb doing some woodwork (with cold hands).Quote:

Youch !! Cringing at the thought of that, mate. Hope it heals quickly.
You don't need to remove spark plugs, glow plugs or anything else to turn over an engine. Your turning it slow enough that any cylinder pressure is bled off past the rings before you try to move it again.
Replace a starter the other week on a small truck due to this. Ring gear had minimal wear.
