My 106 diesel ain't starting too easily in this cold weather.It turns over OK but was reluctant to fire this morning then fought for life to keep going for 10 secs or so before settling. Is this most likely a glow plug problem and if so are they easy to change on this car???
Cheers

Hello,
Yes, it sounds like glow plugs. I used to have a Saxo diesel, for my sins, and had the same problem.
Changing them is a simple job which should take no longer than 15 minutes. I got replacements from Halfords, which seemed to do the job quite nicely.

Change your plug, but spend the money, buy BOSCH, you should be able to get a set (being 4) for about £30 if you haggle a car parts place and get trade, if not expect to pay £45 a set.
You can put in cheaper glow plugs in if you want but once you have used BOSCH duran you will never go back.
