as Wammers has said many times, they will start with 3 good plugs if they are on consecutive cylinders, so it only needs one more to fail and no starty. don't replace with cheapo's they don't work.

I would think that is your problem. You need good plugs on at least three consecutively firing cylinders, even then it maybe a lumpy start. So you only need two down in the wrong place to give problems, if you have three down you are going to struggle.
 
If its a 98 alloy manifold version check the connector block that goes on the the glow plug wires the plastic strip that hides the wire

Brother in law had an issue with starting the other day I had already changed the six glow plugs with deplh ones it was the connector block.

Unless it's 1997 registered 1998 it should have a plastic manifold. EGR was introduced in 1998. Vin number WA403804 and up. Advice on connector is good though.
 
just reading through Rave, have I really got to remove all the high pressure pipes just to get to the plugs? or will I be able to get away with just the inlet manifold?

also does anyone have the part number of the plugs?

No you don't need to remove injection pipes just manifold for ease. You will need an 8 mm socket for small nuts, extended 12 mm socket for plugs, steady pressure to undo. A wobbler will make it easier. Make sure you are square on. Beru or Delphi look at Island 4x4 site.

any thoughts? found a set for less than £20 or is it a case of buy cheap buy twice?

Buy cheap buy twice. OEM Delphi are around the £8.00 each mark retail. You could go for Britpart at about £4.00 but at times they last up to five minutes.
