Check the flat 80A fuse in the glow plug relay first, though.

When changing the plugs, it wouldn't hurt to crank the engine over to blow out carbon bits. This shouldn't be necessary if the engine is driven hard regularly and the plugs come out easily. I'm lost about the door panels - all this work is in the engine compartment...
