Ive tryed the bolt where the red mark is but it wont get past the fuel rail. and we tryed taking off the yellow mark to see if it was in there with no joy also.

dunno bout the JTD but on my TD they sit below the intake manifold try looking there

Look from behind the engine, you'll see them. Extremely difficult to get out, very prone to damaging the threads when removed. If theres no glow plug warning light then i recommend you leave them as theres no probs with them.

Remember that your glow plug lights should always come on briefly when you first turn the ignition key to on, but before you actually turn the starter. The 'coil light' should light to say they are doing their job, then go out almost instantly. Generally, glow plugs can be left well alone till they stop working properly. Given our current weather, your glow plugs should fire for about half a second. In the depths of winter, perhaps as much as 5 seconds. If it was arctic tundra cold, then you may need to fire them twice, though most modern glow plugs can get to temp first time round during a british winter. If its taking longer, then they need replacing. My Octavia for example is currently 6 years old and has 83k miles, but has no problems starting whatsoever with the set that went in at the factory in 2002 (original batery too). Modern Direct injection diesel engines barely use the glow plugs at all, so they just go on and on and on and on, like a duracell bunny, and since most cars have a relay that cuts the plugs off if you dont wait for the 'coil' light to go out before starting, its pretty hard to kill them by overheating them too. If only everything serviceble lasted as long, lol.

Of course, i'm assuming you dont know any of this, and that you probably dont have cold starting issues. If you know all this, and they are actualy gubbed, then i've wasted my time, and yours lol.
