    Because there is a problem.

    And it sounds like a glow plug issue.

    would a glow plug issue cause any change in the drive?

    As the car itself is driving a dream, i cant physically feel any change at all

    I had this problem. Read fault codes and pointed to glow plugs. Changed them, problem gone.

    Doesnt matter unless ur service book is perfect to the day! Ur ecu thinks it needs services every year since date of purchase/xxxx miles, mine always comes on in august evey year but i dont service until march! Its jus the way it naturally falls out of sync, id defo try this before anyting, i think u hold ur speedo reset button while car is off for 3 secs till it bleeps then turn car on and off. (i think) keep updated how u get on
