Possibly you do yes, which is pretty poor :(

Couldn't say on mine without checking.

You shouldn't need to take out the injector, but the end of the glow plug might be distorted. It might be a head off job.

they are a swine to do. I had to take the air con unit off to get cylinder no1 glow plug out. An easy job made difficult!!

Think I just needed to take one of the injector pipes off when I did mine.
