How does one get to,and test the glow plugs on a Vectra,as one of mine has gone down according to a garage that is repairing my car?
Unfortunately,without testing them all themselves,they can't tell me which one it is,and as my bill to repair is already big enough,I may do it myself,and replace the offending one if it's as easy as my Cavalier was to get them out.
I know they only come on when the temp is cold on these engines,but it's better to act now rather than wait until it may be too late.

search on www.ebay.co.uk/ for "vauxhall TIS" for a factory manual CD. It's so hard to get to them and test take the connector off, you may as well, just replace all 4, it is normal to replace them all, they're obviously all at the end of their life.
BERU ones are about the best, avoid budget ones.

just test them by removing the caps and carefully fix a piece of wire to batt pos ond touch each top of the glow plugs, spark means that its good but its best to replace all of them ngk make good ones
to remove caps use long nose plyers and just squeeze the sides and pull or two flat blade screwdrivers
on the down side might be glow time relay easy to replace but expensive tech two test will tell u which
hope this helps
