Default Glow plugs

I can't remember if it was on here or elsewhere that
someone said 'get a man in' to do this because it could end
in tears?

Well I did - £90 labour, including thread repair.

Ouch. Was that for all four? I got charged £35 for a diagnostic scan
even though I told 'em which plug it was.
