Hi all I think it's time to change the glow plugs or relay, as in the last couple of days as it's got cold it starts ok but runs a little lumpy for a second or two, I have put the code reader on and it says I have fault on all of them, now should I change the relay and try that first or just do the lot .

Ha

just what happend to me, i got the control box 1st fitted it bit of a sod but then :'( just the same,
bought 6 Bosch glows from Amazon, looked on here for job tips. Seemed to be a lot saying the farthest one was a pig to get at, but all you have to do is remove the panels around the bulkhead and lift out the pollen filter box and you have easy access to all 6, this also makes the access to the control unit a lot easier.
watch out at the every far right end of the rocker cover, theres a hidden bolt for a sensor, get a little ladies mirror and it makes jobs easier to see than working blind. and dont drop the bolts.

)
Was recommended to spray with plusgas for a while but mine came out very easy, burnt and blackend every one of them.
I say set aside a day when doing nothing as its one of the big jobs you need time in case you have problems.

Do the lot and the Control Box. A number of people have changed the plugs and had the controller go almost immediately after.
The manufacturer you want is Beru
