All the glowplugs will have leads going to them.You just need to find out which one(s) aren't doing there job.At this time of year I'd be very surprised if they would need to operate anyway,so don't really understand why you get the fault light.

Maybe someone with a better explanation will come along now that we've bumped it to the top again.

have you sealed your fuel filter housing properly after changing the filter! sometimes this can draw air causing non start or slow start after hours of lying about! can bring up dtc's from long crank!

went to my local vauxhall dealer and was talking to a mechanic there and he recons because of the owner before me cross threading a glowplug causing it to snap in the hole he recons that is what it is he said its a common problem when people cross thread them so it looks like ill have to strip the head down get it re drilled and tapped if anyone can give me a guide of the easyest way to strip the head down i would be very greatfull cheers
