Changing glow plug

So my glow plug light is flashing and im guessing one of the plugs has gone since the car has 82K.

Bit of a noob question I know but where abouts are they as I dont really know what I'm looking for exactly, and how do I change them? The engine is a PD130. Also where did people get there replacement plugs from and for how much?

Cheers

yeah agreed with nic, usually the light will flash for other reasons. You would know if the plugs needed replacing as cold starting in the winter might be a bit of a pain, and you would see more smoke upon start up. Generally they rarely need changing and last an age.

Yeah I had this problem - think seat skimped on warning lights on the dash and doubled up!
The problem is also caused by replacing the brake light with a single filament one and not a double.
Its also worthy to note that if you have cruise control it won't work all the time this is flashing.
