You'll need to remove the intercooler [easy] and disconnect the metal strip that feeds power to the glow plugs.Don't know what they're like to get out but shouldn't be too tight.

Get glowplugs from Jap auto spares (I think thats their name) on Falsgrave St, like next door to Falsgrave Auto spares. Isuzu parts from here if you didn't already know
Before you remove them whilly nilly. Strip it right down and reomve the common rail strip and test each one in turn with an Ohm meter. This may save you from having to replace all of them. They should be about 2 Ohms when cold (I think from memory). Make sure you zero your Ohmmeter if it's an Analog one.

A very small socket set will make it easy once you get into the plugs. Around 6mm for the glowplug terminals?
