have you read the voltage on the battery? maybe try a new battery?

I have a problem staring in the morning, and I don't have glow plugs in me!

Check the battery voltage as suggested, also fuel filter connection (heater) and air in the fuel return pipe.

Why did you change the glow plugs? Were they all knackered?
Silver 08 plate 5dr 1.5dci Dynamique 106 Tech Run (re-mapped)

Red 03 plate 5dr 1.9 Dynamique dci120

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!
