Can anyone please tell me where to find the glow plugs and do i need any special tools to get them out? Also , is it an easy job or am i best taking it to a garage and if so, what sort of price might i expect to pay? Many thanks in advance for any replies. Tom

the glow plugs are located in the cylinder head next to the injectors,they might be tight in the head so you will prob need to spray them with wd40 to free them off,should be a easy enough job depending on how much access you have to work on the engine
