how to change glow plugs for vauxhall zafira diesel 2.0 litre?

i am having a problem at the moment with my zafira. after it was dianosed, the main dealer said that i have to change my glow plugs and timer, egr valve and temperature relay. the car was loosing power from the engine and the warning lights comes on and stay for a couple of minutes. i have paid 250 to diagnose and to fix the problem. but unfortunately it was not mended properly. i nearly had an accident due to this problems. and the dealer was asking for another 690 to replace all this parts for my car. can somebody help me with this please, i will appreciate the help in deed.

i had a similar problem with my 2001 2.0 dti.the warning light would come on followed by a loss of power for a couple of minutes.
i replaced the egr valve which cost £125 without the manifold which i didnt need.vauxhall will only sell sell them together and they wanted £260.
it cost me £20 to have fitted and now runs fine.
hope this has been helpful.
