have a 18 td Mondeo.....R reg.. has become a bastard to start all of a sudden,but once started will start all day long no problem.. Was wondering whether the glow plugs need changing and if so is there a special tool to reach them as they are tucked away and are quite awkard to get to....
Cheers in advance
Almost certainly glow plugs, the genuine glow plugs have been modified from original, about 60 pounds for 4 genuine ford. They are awkward to reach, I use a flexible socket drive. There is no need to replace all at the same time, test each one for current draw without even removing them. Replace the ones that draw no current.

Any tips for best way to do this?
Well I use a DC current clamp but a cheaper solution is to disconnect them all & then connect a 12V Headlamp bulb between each one & +12V, it's pretty obvious which ones unhappy.
