Ive removed the head and stripped it but three of the glow plugs when removed have left the tips in the head, so how can i remove them?

do you mean the tip at the bottom? as in the opposite end to the thread where the nut goes on...

Yes i removed the plugs but 3 of the tips stayed in the head. Ive tried gently tapping them but they have'nt moved.

so its better to pull them out than tap them back through.

Cool, whenever possible it's best to make use of the fact that Aluminium expands twice as fast as steel when heated ;)
