08 BMW 320d glow plug change

    Hi All,
    Have the emission/engine light on in the car, coil light has appeared a few times (for a second upon starting) so imagine it may be down to glow plug needing change. Have ordered an OBD 2 C310 as the old OBD 2 doesn't seem to work for the car (could be software related). 
    Assuming I am right (could easily be wrong) any major worries doing DIY change? Seems to be more labour intensive than difficult (based on youtube)? 
    Anyone let me know of a good price garage around dublin (save me the hastle).
    Also I understand that the dpf regen doesn't work when even 1 plug is faulty, just wondering how long you can get away with driving before damaging the dpf.
    I know its a lot of questions, some probably not easily answered but any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    FNF

    Just wondering if anyone has any garages that are cheap for this work. 
    Turned off the light on dash and it stayed off for a few months until today. 
    Might be time to get the plugs changed..
