God that plug was a pain to get off the controller! Annoyingly I’ve got 4 glow plugs to change now I know the controller is working! And I think I need a new Thermostat as the car isn’t reaching operating temperature. So I’ll sort that when I do the plugs.
That’s next weekends job! Then I’ll be fault code free.......

+1 on the glow plug controller connectors - total PITA to get off!!
I changed all six glow plugs and the controller in one go - less screwing arond, since it seems most owners end up where you are - going in there twice.
Hint: Do the plugs on a warm engine. From operating temp, start removing the tupperware etc. By the time you get at the plugs, it's about the right temp. Hit them with some penetrating oil, give them about 10 minutes and then use a torque wrench set to no more than about 10ft.lbs higher than the torque setting used to install them. Hopefully, they come out easliy.
